First-time parents Elisse and Mccoy reveal Pampers Overnight as the solution to their sleepless nights

They also shared some of their parenting struggles and promoted equal parenting with fellow parents Saab Magalona and Jim Bacarro

A few days ago, netizens and fans expressed their support to new parents Elisse Joson and Mccoy de Leon after seeing the couple’s cryptic posts on Facebook and Instagram stories, hinting that both had enough already. 

After much probing, we found that the real cause was the couple’s lack of good night sleep. While most people can relate to having sleepless nights, first-time parents like Elisse and Mccoy are nodding their heads and saying, “We hear you.”

Parents’ Partner for Uninterrupted Sleep

McLisse, in a Pampers Power Parents Show Facebook Live with Saab Magalona and Jim Bacarro on Monday, revealed that they had to wake up in the middle of the night to their daughter, Felize McKenzie, crying because of the discomfort and leaks caused by the previous diaper brand they were using. They recalled that the most difficult time for them was during Felize’s first six months – Elisse would get up in the middle of the night to feed and to change diapers multiple times. To prevent this from happening again, Elisse and Mccoy have taken shifts in changing Felize’s diapers which eventually left the couple tired, frustrated and not having enough sleep. For working parents like Elisse and Mccoy, a restful sleep is important. And when your baby is uncomfortable and does not get enough sleep, that also means that the whole family does not either.

Get Ready for Summer! 5 Fun Bonding Home Activities

Samsung Digital Appliances can make summers at home more exciting

Summer usually means heading to the beach or any outdoor destination, but families can also have fun when they’re at home. With a little creativity, imagination, and help from Samsung Digital Appliances, they can turn summer at home into a fun bonding activity for everyone.

Here are just some things families can do in the comfort of their own home:

1. Play outdoor games. It’s nice to soak in the sun every now and then. If families have space in their backyard, they can play fun relay races or even paintball. 

A day outdoors means sweat and other stains, so it’s important to have a powerful washing machine to get clothes fresh and clean like the Washer Dryer Combo that uses Eco Bubble™ technology to efficiently clean clothes. Detergent is turned into bubbles, which quickly penetrates fabric to remove dirt while preserving its color and texture.

Cigarette smoking and the pandemic: why e-cigarettes and their regulated use is seen as the way to stem tobacco use

The ongoing pandemic has brought to the fore critical issues concerning our health – be it physical or mental – especially in a country like the Philippines that is hard hit by COVID-19. As reported by The Lancet, “the longstanding battle with infectious diseases has been compounded with the rise in non-communicable diseases due to lifestyle changes and an increase in risk behaviors.”

Among these risk behaviors, cigarette smoking can be considered one of the most detrimental to one’s health, more so in light of how tobacco kills approximately 87,600 Filipinos per—240 deaths per day—per The Union in their report.

Even more worrisome, the World Bank notes that around 25% of all deaths related to heart disease and 80% of lung cancer deaths are caused by smoking and exposure to secondhand smoke. Health experts also stress that smokers are at a higher risk of developing severe COVID-19 symptoms.
