Sophie Albert shares current health condition of her daughter Avianna
Sophie Albert disclosed that her newborn daughter was diagnosed with gastroesophageal reflux disease or GERD.
The Kapuso actress shared the details in her new vlog with Vin Abrenica and their daughter, Avianna.
In the vlog, Sophie shared a bit of update in their family life during the first month of Avianna.
She said, “If you had told me like last week or two weeks ago na we would have been able to put Avianna down kahit for like five seconds nang hindi siya umiiyak, I wouldn't believe it. Kasi she's a super duper fussy baby.”
The Kapuso actress said that her daughter has GERD or gastroesophageal reflux disease, which made her feel uncomfortable recently.

According to Mayoclinic.org, “Gastroesophageal reflux disease [GERD] occurs when stomach acid frequently flows back into the tube connecting your mouth and stomach [esophagus]. This backwash [acid reflux] can irritate the lining of your esophagus.
In the video, Sophie described the effect of GERD to her daughter.
“We found out that she has GERD. Something like her stomach isn't as mature yet.
"She has a problem, I guess, digesting her milk that's why she's super fussy.
Sophie revealed that they faced difficulties with Avianna's condition, but she is thankful to see improvements in her daughter.
“We are having such a hard time with her," the celebrity mom said.
"But recently, like the past four days, five days, she's been much easier to deal with; she hasn't been crying as much.
"For the past two nights she's been sleeping for at most two and a half hours.”
The proud mom shared more updates that she noticed in her daughter recently.
“She is also starting to stare at things. I guess this is the time that she finally sees contrasts, so she's starting to stare at the faces.
As a parent of a newborn, Sophie admitted that she faced a lot of adjustments.
In the vlog, she said that her partner Vin and herself are slowly learning their daughter's needs.
“She's getting better; we are both getting better together.
"The three of us are starting to have a bit of a language together.
"I'm starting to understand na rin like her cries if she's really hungry or she's just a little bit more needy, she just needs more comfort.”
The former Bihag actress added that she and Vin enjoy every moment about being parents to Avianna.
“Slowly, we're getting to know each other better and we're really enjoying it.”
