Skin-to-skin contact (also known as Kangoroo therapy) is considered a great method for both mother and baby, helping to strengthen the immune system, reduce stress, and bond emotionally. But this method is usually applied only at birth or infancy, some families extend skin-to-skin contact when the child enters the toddler age.
Thu Phuong (Hanoi) has a different opinion. She still maintains skin-to-skin contact with her daughter today – when Upi is 30 months old. The beauty of Hanoi says that it is a wonderful time between mother and daughter, brings a lot of value both materially and spiritually, and even creates a very emotional moment.
Thu Phuong and her daughter.
A mother of one child shared: “Today, as usual, I took off all my clothes and jumped into bed so Upi could touch my mother’s skin. There hasn’t been a day in the last 30 months when mother and daughter weren’t shy about enjoying the warmth of a “big feast” of skin next to each other. I also often make very clear requests:
“Mom, I need a hug” (Mom, I need a hug)
“Mama I need mama titi”
“Mom I need your belly”; (Mom, I need your tummy – Upi likes to sit on her tummy to get up, rub the fat with her hands or lie on it because it’s soft)
“Mom, no clothes?” (Mom, why don’t you put your clothes on? – I mean, take them off so we can hug each other.)
Today, I smelled my mother’s breasts, finished touching her belly, pulled down the belt of her little pants and shouted:
“Oh my God what is this?” (Oh my god what is this?)”.
Baby Upi is getting older and more beautiful and understanding.
It can be seen that skin-to-skin time has created a very intimate bond between mother and child. Taking the opportunity for his daughter to see her mother’s scars, Thu Phuong teaches her how a child is born. She says: “Mother said it was a scar, Upi. Back then, Upi was just a tiny baby like this, and I created Upi in her mother’s womb! Then, Upi grew, her stomach also enlarged. swell like this.
One day, Upi wanted to go out, so she went to the doctor, and the doctor opened her stomach, took Upi out, then closed her stomach again. So I have this sign. And now Upi is sitting here with mother! You can call it your door. The door that leads you out into this world! “Oh… the door!!!” – Upi repeated, showing that she understood.
Gentle and age-appropriate explanations partially help daughter Thu Phuong understand and feel empathy. The girl’s reaction was very emotional. “He looked at the scar that cut his mother’s stomach for a moment, then suddenly kissed it. Then smiled and then pressed his pretty cheek to his mother’s scar. “Mom, that’s a wound, that is. so, so… sick, really, really, really, really, really, really, Boo Boo!” (Mom, it was cut, it was very very very very painful! Very very very very very booboo).
I suddenly spit out the corner of my eye. Who would have thought that a little girl less than 3 years old could understand that and give such a beautiful respect to her mother!!! I stroked her hair and said, “This really hurts, honey. But everything pays off when I have Upi here. Mom is so happy!”. And to do it again, even if I suffer 10 more times like that, I’m also willing. Being the mother of such a daughter is truly a blessing in my life, mother.” Hanoi mother confessed.
When Upi was born.
Thu Phuong’s story has moved many mothers to remember their own painful births. In addition, the way Hanoi mothers raise their daughters has had a tremendous effect, both connecting motherhood, educating sex, and helping children have a greater understanding of the world.
For those who regularly follow TV programs and social networks, Thu Phuong and her husband Cee Jay are no strangers. They have a beautiful love story between a Hanoi woman and a Nigerian boy, together raising a 3 year old daughter, baby Upi. Thu Phuong is also known as a responsible mother, often sharing baby care methods that many mothers care about. It is known that at birth, baby Upi weighed 4kg, Ms. Thu Phuong gave birth for 33 hours because she wanted to give birth naturally. Finally, because the baby’s head is large and the mother is tired, the doctor prescribes a cesarean section.
