Mommy ni Five n' Six

About a year ago, when my little one was 18 months old, she was diagnosed with skin asthma. Actually, that check up time is for her fever. But the pedia noticed some dry skin patches on her legs. Then I informed her that it started when my little one was about 2-3 months old, her inner folds have rashes and also her chest. We have tried to change her body wash and even her clothes detergent. The pedia then adviced me to watch every food she takes especially dairy products to make sure which one do triggers her allergies. And since I breastfed her, I too also have to watch every food I take. She also gave a list of skin care products to buy for my baby. We have tried each product. From soap, ointments, lotions, creams, baby wash etc. They are kind of expensive. And they doesn't worth the price. Because they haven't made any difference to my baby's skin. So I searched again the internet for what else maybe the answer for my baby's skin condition. Belo Baby products...

My husband loves spaghetti so much. Before we got married I ask my mom to teach me how to cook it. As years past, I tried different pastas. There's this brand I used to loved which I always prefer to use since 2009. My eldest loves spaghetti too. And also a fan of baked zitti and carbonara. When I got pregnant to my second child, I learned to eat healthier. And that extends when I decided to breastfeed her until she started eating too. I searched the internet for healthy foods I could make not only for her but for the whole family to enjoy. I also tried my best to have patience reading the labels of everything I buy. Until just last year, the rainbow colored pasta catches my attention. After reading the labels, I choose to buy it over the brand of pasta that I used to love. Why? Simply because it is healthier. So I told myself I must try it. I cooked the simple and easy to make yet healthy tuna pasta. We love it so much. And we enjoyed it more because of the rainbow colored past...

I grew up with my grandmother and I was trained well for household chores. I washed my own clothes since I was a kid. I am not sure if that's the reason why my hands became so sensitive to detergents. My skin becomes dry and scaly every time I do the laundry. Since I have my own family, my laundry was doubled. We have a washing machine, but I still choose to hand wash. Doing the laundry is not a joke. It is very exhausting and my skin suffers. Aside from it dries, I always get cuts. That's why I use gloves every time I hand wash, and some times when I wash the heavy bedding and curtains with the washing machine. When my second child was diagnose with skin asthma, I searched for safe products for her including detergents for her clothes. I tried a lot of products, but Perla White is the best. Not only for my baby's clothes but also for our skin. Even without gloves, my skin does not become dry anymore, my skin feels so soft after I do the laundry. My baby's clothes smell...

When I got pregnant with my second child, I have learned that I have to be extra careful on choosing skin care products to be used. Sad to know that most of my ever loved products are not safe for baby and so while nursing her. I have to say goodbye to them and find some breastfeeding friendly products. Took me some time to test first and finally choose which is which so my skin had been sad as me 😢 These are the four ingredients to be watch out for:   Formaldehyde   Parabens   Salicylic acid bha   Retiniods It always takes time and effort for me before buying new products. I read every details and ingredients of each product. Tried and tested some. Some are safe, yes, but never does what it promised. There comes a time that I decided to stop using any product. It is exhausting to read those tiny letters at the back of each product, then test, and then realized, they are just a waste of time and money. No one is happy with dry skin and hair fall that were ...

As a mom, all I want is the best and only the best for my kids. I know, one of my best decision in life was to breastfeed my little girl. I haven't able to do that to my eldest. The number one reason is lack of information about breastfeeding. I thought I don't have milk after trying to feed him for a day and my baby is still crying. Thinking that he doesn't get any milk from me, we decided to buy him formula milk. That is why when I got pregnant to my second baby, I started searching the internet about breastfeeding, and big thanks to the Facebook group breastfeedingpinays. They really helped me a lot. Supplied me with a lot of information I need. To this moment, I am proud to inform you all, I am exclusively breastfeeding my little girl for 21 months and counting and hopefully until she quits on her own. Breastfeeding is not as easy as it looks. It takes a mother's courage and dedication, time and effort. I will be sharing you some information, tips, and everyt...
