Claims Not Too Stressed Managing Twin Babies, Nina Mpok Alpa: What is Baby Blues Anyway?

Kapanlagi.com - Mpok Alpa gave birth to twin baby boys on Monday, October 7, 2024, named Raffi and Raffa Ahmad. Having twin babies is something new that Mpok Alpa is experiencing in her life.

Sometimes, Mpok Alpa feels a bit overwhelmed when both of her babies cry at the same time. However, this situation does not stress the woman whose real name is Nina Carolina.

That's why, when asked if she experienced symptoms of baby blues, Mpok Alpa was confused. According to her, having a baby is a blessing and something she has indeed wanted with her husband, Ajie Darmaji.

"Oh no. Just yesterday someone said. Who was it again? A senior artist said this. You must be experiencing baby blues, right?" Mpok Alpa said when met at her residence in Ciganjur, South Jakarta, recently.

"What is baby blues anyway? I don't understand. Later, Mpok will feel it. Stress, she said? She said stressed. Yes, hopefully, I won't be stressed. Just enjoy it," Mpok Alpa continued.

1. Still Adapting

Baby blues is a common condition that often occurs starting after childbirth and can exhibit various symptoms such as mood swings, irritability, and frequent crying.

This 37-year-old woman is grateful that her two children have started to adapt to their home. Even when they cry, it's usually just because they want to be fed.

"Their adaptation is still calm. So when they cry, it's mostly just for feeding. They cry when they need to breastfeed or when they need to pee. Usually, when they cry, their diaper is wet. They cry when they haven't gotten milk. It's either wet or itchy like that," she said.

2. Helped by the Children

In addition, Mpok Alpa's first and second children are also very enthusiastic about the arrival of the new family member. Especially the second one, who truly shows affection for both of his younger siblings.

"When he gives affection, he is happy. For Petong, he is even happier. So now when he comes home from school, he wants to rush home to see his younger sibling. But he understands that before seeing his younger sibling, he has to wash his hands first," explained Mpok Alpa.

Mpok Alpa and her husband are fully aware that although their attention is currently focused on the newborn twins, their love must remain the same for their first and second children.

"We must not diminish our attention. Balance is important; we have to manage our emotions. Most importantly, we must ensure that our child, like Petong who is 8 years old, understands when things are strict. Now we have to control our emotions a bit," she concluded.
