Hey Yuki, I know that you are a new mum to a beautiful little girl Efi, and a great cooker as well. So tell us…
Q: A bit more about your background if you feel comfortable.
A: I’m from Japan, I have a 2 month old daughter.
Q: What is the most rewarding part about being a mother?
A: My daughter is 2 months old and I do breastfeed her. When I do breastfeed her, she sometimes holds my finger and looks at me with a little cheeky cute face. This is a privilege for me. I can see she has grown and been more expressive. I enjoy every moment of her. Being a mum is a tough job but worthy job as well.
Q: What are the most challenging times being a mother? And how did you cope with them?
A: 24/7 look after my daughter. Therefore, the toughest thing so far is I can’t get much time for sleep and also managing to do housework to find even small time.
However my husband is very helpful, he gives me some time to sleep or relax and even cook for me when he is home.
Q: What is your biggest craving or pet peeve about being a parent?
A: My daughter doesn’t like sleeping in her basket so in other words, she doesn’t sleep for long hours in there. This is the thing make me feel tired.
I produce so much milk somehow and easy to get pain on my boobs. Therefore, sometimes my clothes are wet with leaked milk. I wish I could control my milk.
Q: What makes your children smile and laugh?
A: She smiles a lot when I change her nappies and talk to her that how big poop she did.
Also, she likes us tickling her chin and tummy.
Q: Words that describe your children?
Cheeky precious sunshine.
A: Any standout memories of your children?
My daughter was born with so much hair. When I was in labor, a midwife said she has got so much hair when the midwife saw her head from my perineum. The moment made me laugh even in pain for labor.
Q: How do you like to spend time together nowadays with your family?
A: It is very little things but I like staying bed late in the morning with my husband and daughter when my husband is off.
We just moved to new place so it is very exciting to explore the area together.
Q: Any great advice to your children when he/she becomes a parent?
A: I met my husband in Sydney Australia and came to Wales which is his country to have life with him. I feel that if I didn’t go to Sydney to study at that point, I wouldn’t have met my husband. I learned that you never know what kind of encounter will happen until you take an action. There might have a lot of obstacles to you but try everything what you want to do and do not miss the time.
Q: Being in your profession, what do you feel is the most interesting parts?
A: Making mum’s friends is one of exciting things. There is a different feeling to have mums friends than before because now I’m a mum too so I will have more things I can understand to be a mum. Therefore, I feel like I have a ticket to join another world.
Q: What would you say that helped you to implement into your life with your profession?
A: Making plan and just going for the goals. And having a reliable husband.
Q: Any good advice to parenting tips you can share with us?
A: I still can’t believe I gave birth only 2 months ago and at the same time the 2 months have gone so quickly. Therefore, I guess you should enjoy every moment with your children as they grow very fast.
Q: If anyone needs great advice from you on parenting or wants to connect with you as friends, what are the best ways to reach you?
