I love putting you to sleep so I can do things while you're sleeping. But that's a scam!! I love staring at you while you sleep, you little B! (wait, that's little baby ha) And sometimes di ko na nagagawa yung dapat kong gawin.
I was writing an article last night but I fell asleep and I needed more time with that. Another topic came into my mind this afternoon. I was able to edit one of my articles before while putting my little B to sleep. That's what I am about to write and yes, I am doing it again. How do I put my little B to sleep?
Let me introduce and thank my lovely sponsors
They put up interesting articles that you might like too!
ATM: Listening to Pink while baby wearing. Yeah, killing two birds in one stone.
Parents know how hard it is to put babies to sleep. Aside from nursing her, I have to be active even while putting her to sleep. How? HAHAHHAHA!
Carrying while stomping my feet.
Dancing.
Duyan
Singing
BTW, I do tiktok when the lockdown started to ease my boredom. So....when I got pregnant I still did a little bit. (Sabi nila maglakad lakad, eh mainit sa labas) So maybe this is one of the reason why little be needs to be active and maalog so she can sleep.
Carrying while stomping my feet. - You may think that this is pretty common of putting a baby to sleep, yes. But for my little B when I say stomp, that should be STOMP. As in mararamdaman nya dapat yung heavy step yung tipong ramdam nya dapat yung alog, hindi mo sya madadala sa slow sway. Hirap ako lalo na nung kakapanganak ko sa kanya kasi lalo na sa gabi but babies have their preferences too! We have to adjust and give in to what they like because they can't talk yet. Take note, because they can't talk yet. Even took me weeks to figure it out.
Dancing. - yes, I have to dance sometimes to put her to sleep. When I have a great energy in the afternoon and she still haven't taken her afternoon nap, we do Tiktok time. As early as 1month, she's been dancing HAHAHHA.
There were people commenting na baka mahilo si BB, maalog masyado. Even when I'm still pregnant, some have been telling me to stop dancing, baka mapaanak daw ako. HAHAHAH! I know that it was just a joke and they were just concerned citizens, but no one's gonna staaaaap meeeeeeeee! Eto na yung exercise ko eh, btw it was just less than a minute dance and I know my body pretty well and I make sure na okay the little b sa position nya. I know when to stop. :)
Besides, there were also pregnant women who dances on tiktok. Jusko, yung sayaw ko nga dahandahan na kasi I can't carry my own weight na. Like Chachi Gonzales, jusko from her first born and till her labor stage, she's been dancing. Mapapa-wow ka na lang talaga!
I also used to dance my niece to sleep or watch Kpop videos Hihihi
Duyan - Duyan but not in a duyan. I don't have a duyan kasi walang mapagsasabitan, instead I purchased a 2nd hand Combi Multi-purpose manual rocker/high-low chair. She wasn't able to fall asleep sa manual rocker apparently, makakatulog sya kapag mejo malakas ng konti yung pagswing mo. My mother put a measuring tape or something to pull the swing mode ng rocker, so I can eat while she's asleep. That was on her 2nd month, as time goes by aba! Iba pala ang trip nya. She likes to duyan a little bit harder T_T. So I needed to put her seatbelt and after feeding hagis hagis ko yung rocker. HAHAHHA wag tayong OA magisip. Ganito lang mga mamsh...
I locked the swing mode, para nakasteady lang while hinahagis hagis ko sya. AGAIN, hindi malakas na hagis ha! Wag tayong judger hahhaha. Di ko lang maidescribe lels, if I can upload the video here lang eh.
Singing. - yes lullaby, but not in a form of lullaby. As mentioned at the start of this article, we are listening to Pink.
The other week we had a Paramore playlist, she likes acoustic performances too or slow songs like Ben & Ben.
So ayon, pagoda ang lola pero exercise na din to siguro.
