Every mama has her own struggles and challenges. The many hats we wear at home — teacher, nurse, chef, personal stylist, travel agent, driver, and more — truly prove that motherhood takes learning on the job to another level. But ticking one item after another off our seemingly never-ending to-do list can leave us feeling overwhelmed and exhausted.
Navigating motherhood becomes so much easier when you have people who are rooting for you and offer you the best support system. It gets better if you have a mama tribe who understands that there are days tougher than the others.
The edamama Circle, for one, is a community of mamas who go through the same motherhood journey and encourage each other by exchanging parenting hacks and tips. They also share recommendations of mama-trusted and loved brands and products that can make our motherhood load a little lighter.
Check out some of the products they vouch for:
1. Soffell Mosquito Repellent Lotion Set of 3 60ml (Appely, Pinky, Orangee)
Mamas know how stressful it can be dealing with pesky mosquito bites and worse, dengue fever. This mosquito repellent lotion from Soffell offers double protection that can last up to 8 hours. It’s also safe to use on our little one’s skin as it contains a special moisturizer.
2. Cetaphil Brightening Night Comfort Cream (50g)
