Baby massage is not only a healthy form of child care. It also gives emotional benefits to the babies. Sabi nga sa atin “haplos ng pagmamahal” matters a lot.

Infant massage is beneficial to the baby for relaxation and for stimulation, for pain and colic relief, and for increasing the interaction (bonding) between the baby and parents. Being massaged also helps instill an awareness of healthy, loving touch that continues through their lives.

When I gave birth to Deye, I didn’t know about it. It was my mother-in-law who introduced it to me. She did the massage daily and I could say physically it really made a difference, it made her muscles firm. Deye started with her first steps just before she turned one and could walk on her own at 14 months.

Now, it’s my turn to do it to Erchee. My mom does it at times though when I’m busy with Deye. We do it before giving her a warm quick bath in the mornings. How ’bout you? Do you/Have you also do/done this to your babies?

Missed the show? No worries, I have recorded it all through out my exposure LOL! Thanks for the heads up Iris, I was able to record it.

Please click this link to watch the clip. Sorry to redirect you to another page. I can’t seem to find out why my blog/s do not show the posted video clips at all maybe it be You Tube or Imageshack or any other video/image host.

Anyway, enjoy watching! Too bad I wasn’t able to record the audio for my part. Our schedules won’t meet that week so they have decided that Ms. Gladys Reyes will do it instead.

SAHMone in MOMents! Sounds annoying (grammatically speaking) but really this is one MOMent I won’t forget ever! My blog will be featured in MOMents, a show for moms like me.

Two weeks ago (if I’m not mistaken), I received a message from a certain Anita Ramos in FB. Of course before saying yes to what she was offering, I did my homework first. Checked her FB account thoroughly after accepting her friendship request and replied to her. She said she had followed me in Kuro (a Filipino community forum which I moderate), chanced upon my other blog and finally been able to reach me through FB message. And the message was something like they want to feature me in their show but since I live 3 hours drive away from Manila, I said I couldn’t make it and besides my husband was coming home that time and I’m sure I won’t be able to leave and spend more than a day in Manila plus the fact that my two girls need me. So she gave me an option featuring me through my blog and discuss about things some other mommies might be interested to know. “That” I won’t tell.

If you want to know what we have for you, just

…. rather back to online world! I have been offline for a while spending quality time with the family. Today, I’m officially back online completing the pending tasks I left for the last two weeks. I’m glad they are still very much existing.

We dropped my husband at the airport yesterday. It’s also a “back to work” for him today. He had called twice already this morning. He says he was already up at 5am his time. His body clock hasn’t adjusted as yet. We had a little chat about our princesses and discussed about our future plans (oh yeah that includes checking insurance online for us). This time we want to plan wisely and not just make a sudden decision just to be together. First on the list is to find a good stay-in nanny and we’ll see how it goes….
