IN PHOTOS: Baby Joaquin Ilustre's clean, calming nursery
Baby Joaquin Ilustre is the answered prayer of celebrity couple Dianne Medina and Rodjun Cruz.
Dianne and Rodjun welcomed Baby Joaquin to the world on September 10, 2020, and since then life has been more colorful and beautiful for the married couple.
In a recent 'Mars Pa More' guest appearance, Dianne shared with hosts Iya Villania and Camille Prats all of the amazing lessons and discoveries she's had as a first-time mom.
“Naku, grabe. Ang isang talent na na-discover ko (ay) I can reach any object using my feet. (laughs) While breastfeeding!
“Kaya kong mag-abot ng cellphone, kung anuman, or sabihin mo na 'yung--pero hindi ko naman pina-paa 'yung mga lampin niya or anything--kahit pillow, or kunwari giniginaw ako, blanket--kaya kong iganyan 'yung paa ko, makukuha ko 'yan. Nasusungkit ko 'yan.”
She also adds, “Parang, mga mars, talent na rin nating 'yung nakakagawa tayo ng gagawin natin na hindi siya naiistorbo, 'di ba? Hindi nagigising si baby.”
Dianne also discovered a lot of things about breastfeeding ever since she had Baby Joaquin.
“At first, very low milk supply ako. I thought before 'pag breastfeeding, isalpak mo lang 'yung baby mo, marami ka nang milk talaga as a mom.
“Oo, hindi ko akalain na iba-iba pala 'yung mga milk ng moms or iba-iba 'yung system ng bawat nanay. Meron palang mas malakas.
“At saka, mga mars, na-discover ko na may mga mommies din pala na malakas milk nila once i-latch si baby pero mahina sila sa pump. Iba-iba.
“Meron namang malakas sa pump (pero mahina sa latch).”
Dianne then shared in detail her breastfeeding experience and gave tips for first-time moms like herself.
Plus, she also gave a tour of Joaquin's baby room. Take a peek in the gallery below.
