The Good Home

It's a privilege for a mom to say "I am here" when her kids need her because not all mommas are physically there. Lucky are those who can hug them right there and then.

‘I’M HERE.’

LOOK: Actress Rica Peralejo shares a parenting love language she started doing whenever her second-born child cries.

Instead of shushing him back to sleep, Peralejo reassures him with the words: “I’m here.”

“[T]he crying is not wrong but the crying warrants your presence. He needs you there more than he needs to stop crying,” she says.

The actress then goes on to appreciate being able to live not only for yourself, but also for other people.

“To be able to say 'I’m here,' is a privilege, a blessing. I pray we all get to say it as much as we can, while we can,” she says. | 📷: Rica Peralejo/Instagram

Who wants to be on time but also needs to be a momma to your lovely kids? 💪🖐️

I’m sorry I’m late,

I wanted to be on time, but one of my children ended up on the floor in a fit because they demanded a cookie for breakfast, and I wouldn’t give in.

I’m sorry I’m late,

I wanted to be on time, but one of my children needed to “go poopy” on the way out. And then, after I changed a dirty diaper, my older kids started fighting over who gets to sit in which seat.

I’m sorry I’m late,

I wanted to be on time, but I got to school and realized I had left their backpacks at home and had to turn around. And then, running into the house to get them, my child got a skinned knee and needed it cleaned and bandaged.

I’m sorry I’m late,

I wanted to be on time, but the baby woke up twice in the middle of the night, and I overslept my alarm. Then the toddler thought it was funny to hide and couldn’t be found for over ten minutes.

I’m sorry I’m late,

I wanted to be on time, but one of my children refused to change out of pajamas while the other couldn’t find their shoes, and then they “didn’t feel quite right” on.

The truth is,
I want to be on time,
and I feel guilty about it.

But kids are messy,
unpredictable,
and will make you late every time.

So, I’m sorry I’m late,
but I’m a mom.

Moms! 🤰🏽🙏🏽🎉

Hold the mother, not the baby.⁣
⁣
Because the baby’s being taken care of—⁣
fed, snuggled, and given all the love in the world—⁣
by not only the mother,⁣
but her partner, grandparents, siblings, cousins, and friends.⁣
⁣
But the mother,⁣
may have gaps in her mind from lack of sleep,⁣
may be mechanical in her motions as she’s healing,⁣
may feel more like a mess than a mother,⁣
may be sitting in bed, crying, feeling overwhelmed in her body and life,⁣
may be full of mom guilt because in her mind, "she's not good enough,"⁣
and she’s bleeding, wincing in pain, swollen and emotional.⁣
⁣
And the mother’s that baby's whole world and needs to be seen, so she doesn't disappear into that postpartum fog.⁣
⁣
So, hold the mother, not the baby.⁣
⁣
A mother agrees that her baby matters more.⁣
But she’s hurting, while she’s the person behind the baby,⁣
in the background, making it all happen:⁣
feeding her baby at all hours,⁣
snuggling her baby close to comfort newborn cries,⁣
and being that baby’s everything.⁣
⁣
So, it’s the mother who needs your love.⁣
⁣
And a mother will remember who held her up.⁣
⁣
So instead of “I’m coming to see the baby,”⁣
try saying, “I’m coming to see you 𝘢𝘯𝘥 meet the baby, too.”⁣
⁣
Because the mother needs to be held more.⁣

Why do babies need to be swaddled?

If you notice, the babies often get startled while sleeping. It is natural and is called the "startle reflex", which can be helped by swaddling them (or wrapping them like in the picture)

Swaddling is beneficial for both the mother and baby to get better sleep. There are other benefits of swaddling a baby which you can read here: https://intermountainhealthcare.org/blogs/topics/intermountain-moms/2018/11/how-and-when-to-swaddle-your-baby/ #:~:text=Swaddling%20protects%20your%20baby%20against,face%20and%20helps%20prevent%20scratching
