NUK Magazine 60 Years of Inspiration - Simply ingenious

Blogger Janine writes about being a mum

36 simply ingenious I became a mum eleven years ago when Anna was born. eleven years, a long and exciting time in which a lot has happened. I got married, and divorced, fell in love again, travelled, got my career underway and changed jobs several times, quit one course of study, successfully graduated in another, and I was a mum the whole time. 4,192 days full of love and golden moments, full of excitement and growth. Worries were no stranger to me during this time either. Being a mum is overwhelming and beautiful. Deciding to have another child was so thrilling. two kids, what would that be like? can one divide love or does it simply grow accordingly? Is an age gap of eleven years perhaps too large? Questions upon questions. And then it happened: We were pregnant. To experience this happiness again. Ten months later we were holding our second girl in our arms. clementina. A beautiful, charming, perfect bundle of joy. We three are all enamoured with our little latecomer. When I observe clemi, how she learns something new every day and discovers the world for herself, I feel as if I’ve gone back to that wonderful time of those first few months I experienced with Anna. And I am amazed at how every child has its own person- ality from birth on. And yet they are similar in many respects and have the same needs. I opted for breastfeeding for both my girls. It can get loud if mum’s breast doesn’t appear fast enough. their need to suck is/was very pronounced. Without “dummy”, nights would have been even shorter and the rings under our eyes a good bit darker. While I was pregnant with Anna I wasn’t very taken with the idea of soothers. Or so I thought. Kids let you know what they need. And Anna definitely needed her dummy. And so it happened that she got her first colourful soother from NUK while still in the hospital and was the most contented baby in the world. clemi, too, has a strong need to suck. she demands her “dummy”, often loudly, or reaches for it on her own. It gives her comfort. this invention is a blessing. And as nuK has optimised the genius soother in the best possible way and based its shape on the mother’s breast, I don’t have to worry about nipple confusion or misaligned teeth or jaws for my little one. The name Genius says it all. “I am the mother of two wonderful daughters. And nothing makes me happier than watching them as they grow – seeing how they develop and go their own way. Children are the joy of this earth.” sImPlY IngenIOus:tHe nuK genIus mAKes OuR BABY tHe mOst cOntented BABY In tHe WORld. BlOggeR eXPeRIence
