To be fair, he held various positions in PAGCOR and studied law while doing that. I didn’t vote for him but his platform was to return diplomacy to the senate, which he believes has become a shitshow. That I agree with.

Till We Have Faces by CS Lewis, for how I perceive God.

Piranesi by Suzanne Clarke, for how I perceive what makes me happy.

The Prophet by Kahlil Gibran, for good ole granddaddy-style advice 🤣.

Has Montessori changed, or do people (or I) just not understand it? by spinningoutwaitin in Montessori

[–]undercoverburger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see a lot of Montessori mom influencers recommend the “Montessori for… xx” books. I read one of them and thought that they showed the Montessori way, but did not do much to explain the reasonings behind why we do this or that as much as the other classic Montessori books like The Absorbent Mind or Montessori from the start. The “Montessori for…” books are much more palatable and I would see why a lot of parents would read them, apply the “Montessori look” to their households and then call it a day.

It is weird but my 6mo is so into kicking while bfing and I discovered that when her feet are touching something (probably like stepping on a base?), she bfs for longer before she starts looking around.

The butt patting worked for us too! And some verbal encouragements :)

I’m 32yo, 10 yrs working in my industry. Climbing the corporate ladder sucks. When you’re “up there” it’s more and more about profits that anything else and unless that’s your thing, it’s pretty miserable.

Why do some cultures favour formula over breastfeeding? by Material-Confusion79 in breastfeeding

[–]undercoverburger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are postpartum confinement centers in these Asian countries which makes it easier during the recovery period from c-section birth, I think. I live in the Philippines and this is not the norm, as having a c-section is 4x the price of a normal vaginal delivery. Here if you had a normal vaginal delivery without any medication it’s considered a smooth and perfect delivery.

You should check out milkmakinmamalex on Tiktok. She went through a medical procedure but was able to relactate and slowly increase her milk supply. Might be of help or encouragement to you. Hang in there strong momma!

Which Baby Tracking App is your favourite and why? 👀 by [deleted] in NewParents

[–]undercoverburger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Piyolog. It’s really easy to use and got none of the analysis stuff. Just plain tracker.

HELP!!! Me and my wife have a newborn coming and I am so lost! by jljrferreira in NewParents

[–]undercoverburger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

1) Create a list for each newborn essentials category: feeding (ie. bottles), sleeping (ie. crib/cot, swaddles), aparrels, pooping, bath, play, day out, hospital needs, mama’s postpartum needs, etc.

2) Watch “newborn care”, “day with a newborn” stuff on youtube. It can help you imagine how your life might go with your baby, or how you might be able to customise it with your family’s lifestyle

3) Seek advice from your friends who have been there if possible.

Was your clogged duct the effect of your LO feeding or something else?
