The Milestones Series: First Three Months
Having a baby is one of the most exciting times for any couple or family. Whether it be the first baby or the second, third, fourth, or fifth, every addition adds to the excitement.

Conscious Parenting: Teaching Resilience
Resilience, defined as the ability to adjust or recover from change or challenges is one of the most important capabilities we can teach our children. There are many unknowns in life, and making sure they have the strength and hardiness to adapt and spring back is the best way we can prepare them to face the world in any stage of their lives. This is what Mommy Mundo’s Community Program Director, Kit Malvar Llamas, tackled in the fifth session of the Conscious Parenting series, hosted on Google Meet.

Breastfeeding can be a frustrating challenge for many moms. For those who struggle with their production, it can be difficult to see some moms breastfeed so easily and produce milk in great abundance.

Learning in the New Normal through the Eyes of Children
The new normal is a pivotal moment for children at home. How parents respond to the changes in their household will greatly affect their children’s lives forever. The prolonged home quarantine allowed parents and children to bond together, get to know more about each other, be involved in one another’s activities, and rediscover their relationship as they spend more time at home.
Staying Protected With Vaccines
For many, vaccines are just what babies and toddlers need. After that, it becomes out-of-mind. To respond to this, Mommy Mundo teamed up with Sanofi-Pasteur to bring a three-part event series on vaccinations, aiming to shed light and raise awareness on why vaccines should be a part of a person’s yearly habits.
A Mom’s Guide to “Premies”
Premies or preemies are the term used for babies that are born before 37 weeks of gestation. There are a number of reasons why babies may be born prematurely. Hypertension, heart or kidney problems, diabetes, an infection in the vaginal or urinary tracts, or stress are just a few of a host of reasons that lead to the statistic that approximately one out of every 10 babies will be born before their mothers can carry them to term.
