You'll never know when you're baby would pee and you'll just realize your bed is soaked wet.Diapers really help keep you free from all the daily washing and cleaning of your linens and floor. But are you sure about the quality of your baby's diaper?To make sure you are, here are the top 3 best quality diapers I've tested so far that I would recommend you to try. Rest assured you money would be worth the cost.

I assure you, your baby would be 100% diaper rash- free!

1. PAMPERS

Right now I've been using pampers comfort for almost four months so I'm really sure its good for your baby. I love it because of its cute prints, extra softness, stretchable waistband, and minty smell .Aside from this pampers comfort also has a lot more features.

Pampers comfort provides a snug bear hug to help prevent leaks onvernight.

Features:

• 4- wall leak guards- traps wetness to help prevent leaks.
• Extra spread layer- helps spread pee to 100% of gel.
• Re-adjustable bear hug tapes- can be adjusted as often as you want. It works even while in contact with powder or lotion.

What differs it from other diapers: minty fragrance and extra spread layer gel

2. HUGGIES

I also tried Huggies Dry and Comfort and the good thing about it is it can last for 10 hours, so you can change your baby's dipie 1 time every night. But let me give you mommies some advice. I'd prefer to still change my babies diaper at least 4-5 hours to prevent UTI (just incase).

Features:

• Leak lock system-Absorbs and locks away fluid to help prevent leaks, even overnight. Aborbs up to 6 wettings.
• Non-sticky magic tapes- Fasten and refasten easily for a secure, customized fit.

3.PROKIDS


I tried prokids too when my baby was still 1 month old and it works great too specially its wetness indicator.

Features:

• Cottony air flow cover- constantly dispels hot air to reduce stuffiness; keeping baby's bottom comfortable
• Fast absorb core with ADL- Heavy-duty absorbent material with enhanced ADL to draw urine away from skin quickly and distribute it evenly; thus preventing leakage.
• Extra comfort waistband- wider and more stretchab;e waistband for better fitting and easier movements; plus a stronger protection against front and back leakage.
• Wetness indicator- tells you the right time to change and maximize usage of the diaper.
• Soft cottony magic tape- re-freshable without tearing the diaper, even when contacted with powder or baby oil.
• Standing inner leak guard- a built-in-design that effectively stops leakage on the side.

Breastfeeding

First time with your baby is exhausting and fun. You'll have sleepless nights.

By the way, here are some tips in breastfeeding.

1. With a clean washcloth or cotton swabs, wipe your breasts clean before your baby feeds.
2.Sit comfortably in an upright position.
3.Support your baby's head
4.Guide your nipple towards his mouth. Baby's chin should be against the breast and his tongue underneath your nipple. Make sure that he's sucking the whole areola( darkened area of the nipple).
5.When he's sucking subsides, switch him to other breast until stops feeding
6.Next time he feeds, start from the breast he nursed from last.
7.If your nipples get sore,never wash your nipples with soap, give a minute for them to be exposed for air dry
8.ALWAYS burp your baby after feeding.

Instructions

Premature infants are known to be weak, limp and sometimes they would last for a week in an incubator.

However my Baby stayed only for 1 night. Hes pretty strong coz' when he cries he can lift his hand with a hep lock on it

My baby is really really strong

First, he never undergone fetal distress even with my compilcated pregnacy.
Second, He's APGAR score is 9/10
Third, He can already lift his head in a few seconds

We were discharge from the hospital after 1 week
I'm quite nervous coz' it would be the first time I would be taking good care of my baby
Before we leave certain instructions were given to us by the nurse

Here are those instructions

1. In the morning we should make sure baby gets his daily sunlight exposure every 30 min. bet 6am-9am.
2.We should always clean his navel with alcohol every diaper change
3. He's milk formula ratio is 1 scoop:1 oz.
If you're wondering what his milk is its PreNAN
4. feeding is every 2 hours and if baby demands
5.Daily bath care with mild soap

My First Baby

It took a few days to visit my Baby. I only had idea on what he looked like through the photos my husband took.

Finally, I was able to hold my baby for the first time

Here is a picture of me and my husband with my baby


I never held a baby before, this was my first time, and he looks so fragile and small.
I was taught that to hold a baby make sure you support he's neck & head.

Here is a Picture of my baby

My Strugle

It was early in the morning

Every movement I did, my operated site hurts. Again I can't stand up therefore I can't take a bath and i can't pee at the bathroom.Thanks to Mr. Bedpan I can still pee but I would still be on bed.

I can't eat anything until I farted, this is to make sure that my intestines are already working. And, I'm forced to move so I'd prevent having an adhesion. This is when my intestines sticks together.

I suffered for 3 days for the pain until I was able to walk properly. My BP still goes above normal so, I have to rest frequently. My highest BP would be 160/100.

My baby is in another room with other babies in an incubator hooked with an OGT (oral gastric tube) this is a long tube placed in a mouth which serves as a temporary passageway for food. Why? My baby's pediatrician said that my baby's sucking reflex isn't good and he only drinks milk up to 5mL.

A specialized milk was prescribed to my baby which cost much. I was encouraged to pump some breast milk to give to my baby.

Breast milk is the best gift you can give to your baby since it provides complete nutrients and antibodies.

Here is an acronym on the benefits of breast feeding.

B- est for baby, also best for mommy
R-educes the incidence of allergies
E-economical, no waste
A-nti-bodies to protect baby against infection
S-terile and pure
T-emperature is always ideal
F-resh milk never goes off
E-asy tp prepare and to digest
E-radicates feeding difficulties
D-evelops mother and child bonding
I-mmediately available
N-utritionally optimal
G-astroenteritis greatly reduced


I have to make sure that every bottle is sterilized before I place my breast milk in to be given to my baby.

Pumping milk isn't really hard at all. You can do this while doing something else, but make sure you have privacy.

The Inevitable

It was still night when I woke up from a pat. It was my doctor waking me. Everything was still a blur and I'm still drowsy when she suddenly told me I'll undergo an operation(CS) because my blood pressure shoot down to 1oo. Then, I was transferred to the OR .

I'm scared, it was my first operation, my first admission in a hospital, my first time inserted by an IV, but I tried to be firm. I believe that everything is going to be just fine

AT THE OR

A lot of procedures were done.

First, they get me ready for the anesthesia which would be injected to me via spinal cord, this is called epidural anesthesia. It was painful but tolerable.

Second, they clean your tummy using a sterile technique.

I was conscious during the whole operation but I didn't feel any pain

In the end, finally , March 28 2009, 12:00 midnight- I heard his first cry.

After a few hours I was transferred to my private room. The operation only lasted more than an hour

The Unexpected

Good News! I can go to the bathroom now and I'm in my Private room.

From the bathroom I went back to bed..
I can feel again my stomach contracting-it was a painless contraction. Its hard as my forehead, But I ignored it.

Just one night and I can go home tomorrow..

It was night and the nurse arrived to bring me to the DR for just having a check on how I'm doing.A Monitor was hooked on me to see if my babies heart is normal(normal is 120-160 beats per minute) and to check if I have any contraction.

Well, bad news, I'll be staying in the DR again for close monitoring. My doctor said my contractions are getting stronger. Another thing is my fingers and toes are getting bigger

My doctor ordered a medication for me to decrease my contraction (I can't remember the drug's name).

The following day. Everything was so fast. My tummy is still contracting. My doctor told me to have an ultrasound so I was brought to the Ultrasound room via stretcher. The findings were that my placenta is already too mature and is not good enough for my baby. So my doctor was planning for a CS.

Since my baby would be premature we needed an incubator.

Bad News- all the incubators are occupied.

So, my doctor decided to transfer me to another hospital. But, before that my doctor did an IE on me. Its this examination where the doctor places her two finger in your vagina to see if your cervix is dilated. If it was, then in no time the baby would be coming out. It was uncomfortable and there was a slight pain. I was instructed to breath through my mouth.

At the hospital I transferred I was placed again in the DR room. But it was more comfortable there, although there more than 3 of you in the room there is a divider and the aircon is cooler than the other DR room.

I was given a sedative in order for me to rest.
My eyelids began feel heavy and I was able to sleep well.

Life in the DR(delivery room)

All I did in the delivery room was lie down-since I'm in complete bed rest.I don't have anyone with me except my nurse and some other pregnant women.

The DR(in the Philippines) isn't a place you would like- well, for me. Why?

First, NO VISITORS are allowed. If someone would visit, they are allowed to stay for only 5 minutes.

Second, NO PRIVACY. In one room there are 2- 3 beds.

Third, I'm not allowed to go to the bathroom! So the nurses provide a bedpan for me to urinate or poop. EEEW...

Fourth,I can't take a bath since I'm not allowed to get off my bed!

Fifth, I have to undergo lots of injections!Especially the IV !One trainee made a mistake in inserting my IV she had to repeat the procedure all over again.Other injections were also given. Another was for the maturity of my baby's lungs in case I would be delivering him earlier than his expected date to come out.

My doctor told me that I have slight contractions which is not good. Contractions you see should only happen when your in Labor, meaning, the babies coming out. So I have to stay longer in the DR for close monitoring.

I was on a low salt low fat diet since my blood pressure is higher than my normal.

After a few days my contractions subsided, and may doctor instructed me to go home the next following day.

I was so excited to leave the hospital. You'll never imagine how boring it is stay in bed for more than two days.

OMG! I'm Pregnant!

Pregnancy isn't that hard to control if its normal. But what if it isn't and you thought it was.

Let me share to you my story...

I was 20 years old when I got pregnant. The first 6 months of my pregnancy was really fine. No problems at all except for the fact that Ive increased weight.But that's not bad in fact a pregnant woman should gain weight of at least 15 pounds.

1-3 MONTHS
I Didn't notice that I'm pregnant. Unless I keep in track of my menstrual cycle. When I thought I was, I bought this over the counter PT(pregnancy test) kit. When you're POSITIVE there would be two lines visible, when you're NEGATIVE there would be only one. But let me give you a warning PTs are not that much accurate because there are also a lot of diseases that can turn out to be a positive result so its best to consult an OB-gyne.

I'm POSITIVE..

In my first month of pregnancy my tummy isn't that much obvious until I reached 4 months. So, before you reached 4 months make sure you bought some maternity clothes and new bras with a cup size larger than your normal. I also notice a clear liquid coming of my vagina, well, that's normal, so you won't have to worry. It's just due the changes happening in your body especially the drastic changer happening to your hormones. In medical terms this is called Leukorrhea. My appetite also increased,and that's where I gained weight.

Some pregnant women would also experience nausea or vomiting. That's normal too. All you have to do is eat small frequent meals especially crackers in the morning. But me I didn't. I started being sensitive to smell and taste. I hate the food from Chowking and I hate the smell of garlic.

I visit my OB once a month and mostly she would weigh me and check the length of my tummy.
She would prescribe me some vitamins, specifically iron, and drink milk two times a day.

I would prefer to you guys to choose ANMUM

She also determined the position of my baby- if his head is below my pelvic bone or above. The findings were that my baby is above so, she told me to exercise-walking. We tried ti identify the gender but it was too early.

NOTE:One thing a hate in pregnancy is my nose getting bigger and having dark pigmentations!like dark skin tones on my legs, neck and armpits!

4-6 MONTHS
There were only a few changes. My tummy starts getting bigger including my weight. So, hypothetically it won't take long until I'll have a hard time standing up from bed.

I started feeling my baby move when I was already 4 months pregnant. It was a weird feeling. It reminded me of those movies where aliens planted their eggs in human's tummies. The movement isn't that much visible but it gets visible after a few more weeks.

Sometimes I could feel my baby hiccuping.

I started visiting my OB for checkup every week.

There was this one time I went to my OB and have an ultrasound and she find out that I'm lacking amniotic fluid. So, she advised me to drink more water. Another finding is that my placenta was ahead more mature than my baby which is not a good sign. So, I,m told to have a rest and stay in bed frequently. But one good news is that my baby is in his proper position and we found out that its a BOY!

7th month

It was night and I had a headache, so I went to my dad to check my blood pressure(my dad' a doctor).

My dad said my BP(blood pressure) is above normal and told me to have a rest .

Early in the morning I was rushed to the Hospital.

I was admitted in the DR room together with other pregnant women...
