My Breastfeeding Advice

 "Welcome to the Milk Mama Diaries Carnival (February). For this month, we focus on back to basics. Participants will share advices - either the best breastfeeding advice they received OR/AND the best breastfeeding advice they can give to new moms.  Please scroll down to the end of the post to see the list of carnival entries."

Breastfeeding in NOT easy.  Let me say this not to discourage you but to give you the truth – plainly.  Some people have it easy and some people don’t, and I belong to the later.  You see, I was clueless on breastfeeding.  I only knew from what I saw with my sister in law.  I remember it clearly, as it was just yesterday – we were in Subic for the long weekend, and she was breastfeeding Shobe at that time.  I remember her going up to me and telling me that she was experiencing clogged ducts (then, I understood it as may matigas sa boob) she was telling me how painful it was that she didn’t know what to do already.  I can remember seeing her face in agony.  I thought to myself – what kind of pain was she experiencing?  Now that I am breastfeeding my Kailee – I understood what she meant, what she felt, what she was going through.  At that time – I could only offer her moral support – now, I understood that it needed more than that.

So for this month’s Milk Mama Diaries – here are a few (I’m sure they will be lengthy) advice and tips that I can give you.

Baby Shoe Diaries: Pediped

Look at these shoes!!

They look so pretty!!

 I would love to get my Kailee one of these pairs!! :)

Ang mahal lang nga.. Huhu!!

Amazon, can you save me????!!!!

I was searching for Pedipeds here in Manila (aside from Hobbes & Landes) and found the Facebook page of Pediped Philippines!  I called their number and spoke to a cheerful Marga.  As of the moment, I am waiting for their stock list.

Crossing my fingers!!  (sana not so expensive!!)

I'm so excited for Kailee!!  Hehehe...

Yakitori Kitchen

One of the few things that I remember while I was in Japan years ago - was seeing a LOT of places that served yakitoris.  These places were everywhere - some were big while some were small.  I'm sure they all tasted wonderful!

Here in Manila - the only place that I get to eat yakitoris are in Little Tokyo good thing, there's a new player in town!!

The Food Club was invited to try out Yakitori Kitchen a few days before Christmas.  Yakitori Kitchen is located in Burgos Circle - since I live on the other end of the city, I braved the traffic.  And I must say - it was worth the travel, because I enjoyed the food and (most especially) the company!

We were served so many varieties - all of them WONDERFUL!  I never thought that the whole chicken with different parts dissected can be served up with Yakitoris!  Imagine - chicken wings, chicken neck, chicken cartilage, chicken legs and the sinful chicken skin!  No part of the chicken went to waste, all of them can be grilled - and it was simply delish!

Yakitori's are the perfect food to be paired with drinking in my opinion.  How I wish I could do that - well, a few more months and I can drink again!  Hahaha..

The menu of Yakitori Kitchen consists mainly of chicken, but we were told that they will soon add other varieties to the menu.  The prices are affordable - for the quality of the food that you get and the ingredients that they use to prepare these yakitoris - wow!!

So if you're in the area - check it out and enjoy these yakitoris!  I know I'll come back for more!! :)  Yey!!

On the side - little did I know that the people behind Yakitori Kitchen are also behind Ramen Bar - they too will soon open another ramen place in Trinoma!  Goodie!!
