Ang Dami Mong Alam, Tita!
Kapag naging nanay ka na, para ka na ring naging open forum sa buong barangay. May mga tita, kapitbahay, at kahit random na tindera na biglang magsasabi, “Huwag mo siyang buhatin palagi, masasanay ’yan.” or “Breastmilk lang, ha?” Thanks sa concern, pero unless ikaw ang magbabayad ng kuryente at magpupuyat kasama ko every night, please let me decide what’s best for my baby!!
Sleep is a Myth!
No one told me “no sleep” meant literally no sleep. People say, “Just sleep when the baby sleeps,” like it’s that easy. Yeah right, by the time I finally put the baby down there’s laundry to do, dishes in the sink, and a mountain of stuff that magically appeared while I was busy keeping a tiny human alive. So now it’s 3 AM, I’m running on caffeine and vibes, scrolling on my phone while holding a baby who thinks nighttime is party time.
The Noisy Sleeper Struggle...
Why does no one warn you about how loud babies can be even when they’re not crying? I’ll finally be drifting off and suddenly I hear grunts, squeaks, tiny coughs, or that weird little snort they do. My brain instantly goes into panic mode like, “Is the baby okay?” Then I check, and of course, they’re just peacefully sleeping… meanwhile I’m wide awake staring at the ceiling, wondering if I’ll ever remember what eight hours of sleep feels like.
