This Should Be Your Child’s First Birthday
The first birthday of your child, you do not celebrate it only for him, you are also celebrating one year as a mother. When we have our first child, we learn too many things in the process, because there is no manual that explains how to be a good mother, it is something that is learned along the way. Have you ever wondered: What should your child’s first birthday be like?
The famous brand of baby goods, Pampers, carried out an exciting campaign with a video entitled: “a child’s first birthday is also a mother’s”, in which we see more deeply, our process as mothers and the path that we have traveled to get to that first year.
According to the video, this is how you should celebrate your child’s first birthday:
In the video you can see the story of several mothers who take their babies to the hospital. As it progresses, the fathers appear in parallel, explaining why their wives also have years and how much they have done for their children. And if something is true, it is that motherhood makes you stronger.
Each of them posts photos of their wives with their babies on the walls of the hospital corridor, with little notes expressing how grateful they were for their work as a mother. Also highlighting that they not only celebrate their child’s first birthday, but also theirs as mothers.
In this campaign, Pampers wants to congratulate mothers for their effort, for putting their children before them and giving them their unconditional love. A congratulation that makes mothers feel very moved and grateful. Remember that when you celebrate your child’s first birthday, you should prepare a cake for yourself too and congratulate yourself on your work as a mother.
What did we experience during that first year?
- We went from being the first-time mothers to being the best. You may do many things wrong for the first time, but with time and experience, you will get better every day.
- Our body was not like the one we wanted to have. After having our child, we don’t feel comfortable with our body at all. After months of having a little person inside, it was no wonder.
- We got to know our son. Although many times we let ourselves be carried away by other people’s advice, we understood that each baby has its own personality and tastes. We understood through his actions, what he liked and what he did not like.
- Too much advice that we don’t take. Many times we appreciated an advice, but really sometimes we did not put it into practice. They were too much at once.
- Not sleeping in a long time. If we could count the times that we did not sleep, we would simply lose count. Many nights without sleeping or resting properly to care for our baby.
- People who became a very important support. Between the accumulated hours of sleep, work, cleaning tasks and everything that revolves around a home, there was never a lack of that person who provided support to be able to take a minimum rest.
- It was one of the hardest things in the world, but it was worth it. Each day that passed was much harder, but after seeing a healthy and strong baby, we know that it was all worth the effort.
- Although it is now in its first year, there is much to learn. Learning from mistakes and being humble is the most important thing in this process.
They will continue to grow after their first birthday!
Our children will continue to grow and we will always have something new to learn, the fundamental thing is to give them the best of ourselves and be there whenever they need us. It is not easy at all, and during all that time, you gave your best effort for their well-being.
For the moment, enjoy your baby as much as you can, that time passes quickly and when you least expect it, he will already be a teenager. If you want to know what checkups your child needs in his first year, we invite you to read checkups for your baby’s first year. This will help guide you and not miss anything.
