Our experiences

The first few months with the baby are really exhausting. Routines change radically, and our schedules must adapt to the baby's schedules.

In Babies and More we have repeatedly echoed hilarious viral threads published on social networks about situations that only occur when you have children. From surreal conversations in the parents' chat at school, to adventures with the class pet, vacations with children at a campsite or the hard work that parents have on Twelfth Night.

If you have children, surely you have heard phrases or references about certain ages, such as the famous "terrible twos" (which are not so terrible) or the complicated transition to adolescence. In my early years as a mother, for example, someone said to me "Ugh, wait until I grow up and be older", as a warning and hinting that things would get more difficult.

Motherhood is an experience like no other. I cannot say that it is the hardest of all, because I would need to live more than one life to prove it, but what I can say is that breastfeeding is one of the most exhausting things that exist.

He had never been a morning person or a light sleeper. In fact, in my family we have a kind of internal joke in which they say that I am a combination of Bella and Aurora, the two Disney princesses. The first, because I love to read, and the second because since I was a child I love to sleep and to wake up to go to school almost a whole orchestra was needed (now I have to live this with my daughter, but that is history for another day).

Without a doubt, one of the best experiences of my life (besides becoming a mother, of course), is having been able to exclusively breastfeed my babies. I admit that at the beginning it was hard, but when repeating experience obviously the subject was much more rolled. Today I want to share what were those teachings that the first one left me, and that I applied directly when I breastfed for the second time.

It is known that the relationships between daughter-in-law and mother-in-law are not always harmonious or simple, and the title of "mother-in-law" is usually seen with negative overtones (something like what happens with the title of "stepmother").

There is no mother of older children who I have not heard say "it seems to me that it was yesterday that I had my children in my arms." And yes, it seems like yesterday to me too. In fact, the little girl is two years old and I swear to you that the feeling of wanting to cradle her is such that sometimes the nostalgia invades me to know that those moments will not return.
