My husband and I both used to suffer from colds a lot and that is why we have a stash of vitamin C to prevent sickness. We fear that our little one might be exactly like us so we make sure he drinks his vitamin C regularly, too. Our pediatrician explained to us early on about the importance of giving a daily dose of vitamin C for our baby. But with so many kinds of vitamin C brands to choose from, it was difficult to choose which one would be perfect for our bundle of joy. Then we discovered Tropicee Plus. We just had to try it because it contains the added benefits of a Lysine-Taurine Complex. That’s a major bonus for overall health and wellness!


When we got the drops for our son, the first thing I noticed was the consistency of the vitamins which was not at all thick but almost watery. The previous vitamins he tried were all thick and strong-smelling that we fought a lot just to give him his drops. There were times when he took his vitamins straight from the dropper but most of the time, especially when he started to discover different tastes and new food, he just flat out refused. Tropicee Plus on the other hand smells like oranges so it does not bother our little one. I figured that with the watery consistency of Tropicee Plus, it is also perfect and easy to mix with his milk or any solids.


Our 9-month-old is such a handful and now feeding him is starting to become really challenging. However, my technique to get him to eat his solids or drink his vitamins is fairly simple. I store the vitamins in the refrigerator ensuring that it is kept dry. A lot of kids seem to enjoy the cool taste better. Every day I also have a bonding session with my kid so I distract him with his favorite educational videos such as Brainy Baby, Baby Einstein, or Sesame Street, and then once his attention is focused on a show, he opens his mouth to be fed and takes his vitamins with absolutely no fuss.

To breastfeed or not to breastfeed?

That is the question.



However in my case, I have no reason not to breastfeed. Thank God for the abundance of breastmilk. (Magamit jud diay ang boobs!) I learned that I can lose weight with breastfeeding as the act helps burn 500 - 1,500 calories per day. Not only that, but there is a lot of truth behind the famous line, "BREASTFEEDING IS STILL BEST OF BABIES UP TO 2 YEARS."

There are so many BENEFITS of breastfeeding that I’m afraid I’ll run out of space just by talking about them. Breastfeeding was meant for a purpose and I’m just happy that I’m able to take advantage of it.



But it’s not as easy as it looks. And OMFG, at first, I thought I was going to die. Man, it hurt so bad that I swear nothing has hurt me as much as breastfeeding for the first few times.



Ever get the feeling when your nipples are being pinched as in the movies? Not that I had mine pinched or what… but you get the idea coz my nipples even bled!!! Ack!  X_X  Mikko looked like a vampire sucking out bloody milk from me. Que horror!

But as always, the support of friends and family is awesome so I got lots of tips/tricks and great advice from everyone.



Caren even sent me some nursing pads as well as an Avent Nipple Guard to help me get started. So sweet of her. :)



Additionally, I purchased some nipple creams for soothing.



As of today, I’m pretty much used to breastfeeding that I look forward to Mikko’s incessant crying calling me to feed him! LOL… From experience, it’s really a nice bonding time for mom and baby. I feel like I do want to protect my child and give him all the best that I can.

Even though Mikko Vincenzo aka Sir Poop-A-Lot is starting to become a stinker (yup, he farts and poops a lot but that’s characteristic of a breastfed baby daw…either that or he got the trait from me. Tee hee!), I just adore and love my baby boy. He’s everything to me. And I’m gonna make sure he’s gonna grow up to be just like his dad — you know, a really good great guy just like my Noodle Boy.

And really, you just can’t deny the similarity.
