What’s Your Financial Parenting Style?

Teaching our kids financial literacy is one of the best ways we can prepare them for adulthood. Our Financial Parenting Style Quiz can help guide you on what you are like when teaching your children finance basics, responsibility over money and expenses, and maybe also give you a few ideas on how you can be more financially savvy!

Mind Your Mind

It is no secret that moms have a lot on their minds at all times. Many a meme has been created on how moms have to multi-think while they multi-task, and it leads to the ever famous mom brain. That’s why it is important for moms to be able to recognise this, to stop, reflect, and learn how to mind their minds.

MMPPSG: Dear NICU Nurse

I met my baby 16 hours after birth, and it took everything that I had not to dissolve into a blubbering mess when you, NICU Nurse, wheeled me in front of the incubator. I felt too many things at the same time— exhaustion from that morning’s two-months-too-early surprise birth; gratitude that my baby is here, and I am too; longing, painful longing, to hold my baby in my arms. All these emotions made me feel weak, but I soon learned that there is no room for weakness in the NICU because strength dissipates from each bassinet where a fighting baby survives and thrives.

Baby Love: Breastfeeding and Baby Skin Care

MommyMundo and #BabyDovePH know that many new mommies feel this way! It is that understanding that keeps them bringing back Baby Love events that focus on breastfeeding and baby skin care! This past March 13, 2020, Ms. Abby Yabut, a certified lactation counselor, busted breastfeeding myths that persist to this day; and Dra. Krissy Dim-Jamora, the Director of the Philippine Dermatological Society Board of Directors, shared important information on keeping our babies’ skin healthy.

MMPPSG: Bringing Home Our Preemie

What I did get to do on those long sleepless nights when I worried about my baby in the NICU was read up on preemies: what to expect, what red flags to watch out for, and what support groups I can go to for help. I also cherished the late-night conversations I had with mommy friends who also had preemies who told me about their experience in raising a preemie baby.

The Psychology of In Laws

Marriage and motherhood often has its unexpected twists and turns, but one aspect of it that so many wonder after–prepare for it, but unsure of what to expect–is the relationship one might have with their in-laws. Perhaps, not surprisingly, due to it being an almost universal issue, many psychological studies have been done about in-laws. What doctors have found is that, like many conflicts, communication and understanding can be key.

4 Reasons to Consider a Water Birth

Water births have been around for centuries, with the first recorded waterbirth in Europe documented in 1805. Mostly developed in France, water births are now more popular, and many hospitals around the world have installed birthing tubs to give women the option.
