Breastmilk is the number one choice for Theo. It gives him immunity from many illnesses and protects him from viruses and bacteria.
It’s good that her mother’s milk production is increasing. She is now like a cow. Her main purpose in life now is to make sure she has enough milk to feed her baby boy.
No bottle feeding yet for this 14-day-old boy. Whatever his mom produced, we’ll feed him even thru droppers. Para masimot. Every drop of breastmilk counts.
I do not believe that a two-week-old baby can get spoiled by constantly carrying him. Edmund and I like to carry him. We can see his face, and hear his breathing. I want to see every bit of movement and reaction on his face. And I don’t mind feeling ngawit kasi In no time at all, he would be bigger than me and I won’t be able to cuddle him anymore. This is the best time to hug and carry him. In a few months, he’s no longer a newborn. Ngayon ang bangu-bango nya, pag tumaakbo na yan, amoy pawis na.

When he falls asleep in my arms, I find it hard to let go.
Daddy Lolo is missing in action. He has a bad episode of cold and sore throat. He is staying in a hotel near our residence but comes home daily for a short while to check on us and get his supplies. He thinks he also got exposed to someone he had a meeting with who turned out to be positive for Covid. Buti na lang his two Antigen tests and one RT PCR test were all negative.
We were supposed to attend a wedding dinner celebration at the Shangrila but napurnada. I asked pa naman Amir Sali to make me a simple short lace dress to wear to the dinner. Amir is always his gracious self. It’s okay. I’ll wear it to my next event.

Taking care of a newborn baby takes a lot of guessing, feeling, and trying to understand what the baby wishes to convey. Theo can’t talk yet and crying is his only way of conveying his emotions and feelings. Basically what he wants. A newborn baby cries for several reasons, hungry, discomfort, tummy ache, sleepy and sometimes he just wants to be carried or cuddled. Parents, and whoever is taking care of him must be able to use a combination of perception, intelligence, sincere empathy to provide the baby a loving and comfortable surroundings.

Here comes mama cow the fresh milk supplier.
I pray that Theo grows up to be healthy and strong. Hindi masakitin.
