[music playing] [phone ringing] hello. how are you? hi, mom. i need my mom. i need her to be in my baby's life. i put so much pressure on her totell me so much on how to be a mom and how to do things the right way.
and i think she takes it upon herselfto do it even more than she should. she sleeping good? she probably has her lastmeal around 11:30 at night. i think that's too late. you're feeding 11:30. what about 10:00 at night. yeah, but-- that's much better than going too late. it's too late.
but mom, if i feed herat 10, she'll probably wake up at like 3:00 in the morning. or 4:00 in the morning. and then it cuts intothe middle of the night. i fear that someday these conflictscould literally pull us apart. [theme music] hello, abuelita. hi, baby. she's getting big.
i know. i can see. the cheeks. wow. the relationship betweenbella and her mom. they love each other to death. each one has a very strong opinion andtheir opinion is the right opinion. i feed her probablyalmost every three hours. i'm thinking betterevery two than three?
i don't think it's a problem. are you feeding her--you change the diaper? i usually do it before i feed her,because sometimes if i lay her down, she'll throw up. you can't wait. when you finish feeding her, andthen after you can change the diaper. i have more chances of herthrowing up when i lay her down. my mom tends to be like asupermom who knows everything. she's experienced it alland it's so easy for her
to just tell me how to do thingsversus allowing me to learn for myself. how she's sleeping? up or you-- i swaddle her so she doesn't moveand then i lay her on her back. it's better you leave her down. and then you turn her head every-- what the doctor saidand at the hospital, they said to sleep her on her back. and that during the daytime ican lay her down on her tummy
so she can exercise her musclesin her neck and her shoulders so that she can learn to turn her head. when you was a baby,you was sleeping down. i know, mom. but things have changed since i was ababy and it's not like that anymore. whatever you say now,years ago everything was now it's a different erafor bringing up your babies. it's a different time. if i see any problems, i willdefinitely consult with the doctor.
and if he thinks that i need tochange something, he'll tell me. so we'll be going to chicagosoon for our child's baptism. i want the entire familyto have a great time. but being back home, iknow that different topics are going to come up on how toraise the baby, how to do this, how to do that with the baby. and i just don't want those discussionsto lead to a heated conversation. which very well could happen. i need to consider seekingout other people who
are in my age group, those who havealready experienced being a mom and are probably more in tune to what'sgoing on now and how to do things now, versus the way that mymom used to do them. my mom, she's always toldme they don't eat enough. they don't eat enough. you know, they eatwhatever they need to eat. and when they're doneeating, they'll stop eating. and i've seen my boys. and i don't ever force and say, youhave to finish it on your plate.
it's, when they're done, they're done. and then if you're hungry,they'll come and tell you. so that is one big thing my momand i always did argue about. yeah, my mom actuallymentioned, she's still tiny. and i'm like, well, mom. she's nursing. and-- but you're doing a great job with her. i see her and she's happy.
because i have you guys as examples. and that's helped me a lot. you can call me at any time. i'm available. thank you. and i'll tell you what i did andsee if that will help you with her. after having the opportunityto talk to my friends, it really makes me feel so muchmore comfortable going back to be with my mom.
it alleviates some of pressure of herhaving to constantly tell me things. i can just allow myself andallow my mom to incorporate what i've acquired on myown, what she's given to me, be the new mom that i'msupposed to be, and go with it. and be able to share thatwith the rest of the family. the baptism is such an importantpart of my baby's life. it's about all of us celebrating family,celebrating our lives as new parents, her being with the family,and all of us coming together on this very special occasion.
[speaking foreign language] i just want to say thankyou to my mom, lucy. i'm so glad you're here. thank you mom. it's a moment of joy,happiness, and family. all about family. which is what's important.
a touch can now be more calming,thanks to pampers sensitive, the only sensitive diaper and wipeclinically proven mild
