At Annika’s age, we already started “pretend” playing. Ohh, she’s growing up so fast, pang-toddlers na ang laro namin.🥺 Everytime we are going to our pediatrician for her immunization schedule, I'm trying to explain to her by “pretend play” what we are going to do, what will happen when the doctor visits us, and what are things she might felt after the vaccination. I know she somehow understands what I'm telling.😌 Immunization has an essential function in our baby's health, especially in their first 1000 days of life, and this is one of our vital roles as parents to give to our children.🧡 I remember the time she had the first immunization, her BCG and Hepa B vaccine. In her early hours of life, I know she will experience some discomfort from injections. However, we still decided to give her shots because we know that the vaccines help strengthen her immune system to fight preventable diseases, and it's a relief for us, parents. Head over to the Team BakuNanay Facebook group and join our community for more Bakuna stories and reliable, up-to-date information about vaccines!💙💚 Just answer three simple questions, and you’re in!

It has been hard for us moms to accomplish the things we are meant to do for our family on a daily basis, primarily their health care. And I admit that last year, I have chosen not to go to the hospital for check-ups, for annual laboratory exams, and vaccinations, etc. Yes, I felt guilty for postponing some of the monthly check-ups, and Annika was the one who suffered from all the catch-up vaccines. However, this year my goal for our family's health is to be updated on all our vaccinations, especially on Annika’s routine immunizations. And the need to communicate with our pediatrician in regards to the vaccination schedule is important too. In this time of uncertainty, we need to focus more on our health. We all know that vaccines strengthen our baby’s immune system, so it should be the highest priority of moms like us. And we could also protect our community from other communicable diseases. Because we moms, our main goal is to have our kids healthy throughout the year, I am inviting you to join Team BakuNanay on Facebook. In this community group, we can get the right information about vaccination. We can share there our own experiences with our kids and learn from each other. P.S. Please don't forget to answer the simple membership questions! See you!💙💚 Team BakuNanay www.facebook.com/groups/bakunanay #TeamBakuNanay #ProudToBeABakuNanay #AllAboutBakuna #HealthierPhilippines #VaccinesWorkForAll @theasianparent_ph

Para sa akin, habang lumalaki ang aking anak, mas lumalawak din ang kanyang mundo kaya naman gusto kong maprotektahan sya lalo na sa mga sakit. Panatag ako na sa pamamagitan ng mga bakuna, maaring hindi sila makapitan ng mga nakakahawang sakit. #TeamBakuNanay #AllAboutBakuna #firstbaby #HealthierPhilippines

Sabi ng pedia namin, normal daw na lagnatin si baby pagkatapos ng bakuna. Syempre may mga discomforts din si baby na nararamdaman. Kaya naman ready kami kung sakaling lagnatin si baby. May paracetamol, cooling gel sheets at ready rin akong maging extra clingy si baby dahil magiging unli karga si baby panigurado. Pero may lagnat man o wala, mainam na bigyan na si baby ng paracetamol para marelieve ang pain mula sa injection. #TeamBakuNanay #AllAboutBakuna #HealthierPhilippines

Nung nagsimula ang pandemic, natakot din akong ilabas si baby lalo na at sa ospital kami pupunta. Hindi ko alam kung paanong set-up ang gagawin namin. Buti na lang at ang pedia namin ay pwedeng mag-home service, nag- catch up vaccine din kami kaya dalawang bakuna ang ibinigay sa araw na yan. Kayo mommies ano ang game plan nyo kapag lumalabas kayo ni baby para magpa-bakuna?

Being a first-time mom, I jotted some reminders from this webinar. I have a baby who is 9 months old, and we can see the skills she’s learning. Naalala ko noon, kinakabahan ako kasi hindi pa s’ya nakakapag-roll over pero yung mga ka-batch nya nagagawa na. Nagtanong-tanong din ako sa doctor ni Annika, etc. And this made it clear that the child’s development experts say it's not possible to get a child to progress to a new stage of development before he or she is ready. They have their own pace. Ang importante, dapat ma-obserbahan natin ang ating mga anak hindi lang physically pati na rin intellectually. At kung tingin natin ay may hindi tama, huwag tayong mahihiyang magtanong sa ating pediatrician. Iba ang powers ng instinct natin, diba, mama? #theasianparentph #1stimemom #firstbaby #FamHealthy #SanofixBestBuddiesPh
