What Your Child’s First Birthday Should Be Like

Your child’s first birthday doesn’t just celebrate your little one’s first year. On that day you are also completing one year as a mother.

When we have our first child, we learn a lot in this process, because there is no manual that explains how to be a good mother. This is something you learn along the way.

Have you ever asked yourself: What should your child’s first birthday be like?

Pampers, a famous brand of baby products, carried out an exciting campaign with a video entitled: “a child’s first birthday is also a mother’s first”, in which we take a deeper look at our process as a mother and the path we have taken to arrive to that first year.

According to the video, your child’s first birthday celebration should look like this:

In the video, we see the story of several mothers who take their babies to the hospital.

As the video progresses, parents appear in parallel explaining why their wives also celebrate birthdays and how much they have done for their children. If there is any truth to this, it is that motherhood makes us stronger.

Each of the husbands posts photos of their wives and babies on the hospital corridor walls, with little notes showing how grateful they are for the mothers’ work. Especially noting that they celebrate not only their child’s first birthday, but also theirs as mothers.

In this campaign, Pampers wants to congratulate mothers for their efforts, for putting their children’s needs before their own needs and for dedicating an unconditional love to the little ones. A congratulations that leave the mothers very moved and grateful.

When you celebrate your child’s first birthday, you should prepare a cake for yourself as well and congratulate yourself on your work as a mother.

What did we experience during that first year?

We’ve gone from first-time moms to the best moms in the world

It could be that many things, because it’s the first time, you don’t do very well. But, with time and experience, you will get better every day.

Our body is not the same as what we wanted to have

After having our child we don’t feel comfortable with our bodies at all. After spending months with a little person inside him, it was no wonder.

We got to know our son

Although we often let ourselves be taken in by other people’s advice, we understand that each baby has its own personality and preferences. We understand through their actions what they like and what they don’t like.

Lots of advice we don’t follow

We often appreciate advice, but rarely put it into practice. There were too many at once.

don’t sleep long

If we could count the times we didn’t sleep, we would simply lose count. There were many nights without sleep or rest to take care of our baby.

People who have become a very important support

Between the hours of accumulated sleep, work and everything that revolves around the responsibilities of a home, we were always present with the person who offered us support so that we could have the least amount of rest.

It was one of the hardest things in the world, but it was worth it

It seemed like each day that passed was getting harder and harder, but after seeing our baby healthy and strong, we know our effort was worth it.

Although we have completed our first year, there is still a lot to learn

Learning from mistakes and being humble is most important in this process.

Our children will continue to grow and we will always have something new to learn, the key is to give our best and be around whenever they need it.

It’s not at all simple to take care of a baby, and during all this time, you’ve given your best effort for your little one’s well-being. For now, enjoy your baby as much as you can. Time passes quickly and when you least expect it, he’ll be a teenager.
