New mom Angelica Panganiban is enjoying motherhood, taking care of daughter Amila Sabine, especially now that she's able to sleep with her again. However, it's not always as relaxing to sleep with a baby, as the actress shared her struggles of being a mom.
In an Instagram post on February 23, Angelica shared two pictures of her and Sabine sleeping next to each other, with her daughter using her arm as a pillow.
“May batang sobrang clingy, ayaw magpaiwan sa crib niya. As a kabadong mom, na hindi sanay mag co sleep, ngalay na ngalay po tayo ngayon,” she captioned her post.
She added that not only does she need to stay still so as to not wake Sabine, her husband, Gregg Homan, needs to stay “outside the kulambo” to give space to both of them. This is to ensure the safety of the baby.
Despite the struggles, the actress was still able to greet the world with a “Magandang umaga sa lahat! Lalo na sa mga ina na more more ang body pain.”
Sabine recently celebrated her fiive months with a small celebration. Angelica posted a picture of her, Gregg, and Sabine, sharing food with a caption that all parents with babies can relate to.
“[Five] months na kaming half asleep as parents pero bakit ang bilis ng panahon,” she shared.
In early February, Angelica revealed that she tested positive for COVID-19 and had to isolate herself from her husband and baby which, according to the actress, made her miss Sabine more.
After she tested negative for the virus, Angelica shared what she did right after she left her isolation, and that is to breastfeed her baby.
She said while breastfeeding Sabine, “Ang sarap sa pakiramdam na mahawakan na ulit siya.”
Mommies commented on Angelica's post, giving her encouragement and support for co-sleeping with Sabine.
One mommy said that while co-sleeping is hard, it's worth it.
“Eventually, magiging malikot yan at hindi ka na maiilang masyado.. may nakapagsabi sakin na pag co-sleeping ang bata.. smarter daw.. they feel secure and safe so the brain develops better.. parang ganun,” she added.
Another mom added that Angelica should try to not feel the pain and enjoy the hugs while she still wants to sleep with the actress.
