Toddlers and pre­­­­­schoolers describe how moms love them even without words

MANILA, Philippines — Moms do everything to love and protect their children, and in difficult times, they begin to doubt themselves and ask if they're doing enough. More than that, moms also tend to wonder if their kids feel their love, even beyond words.

Just when they think they’re doing it all wrong, it helps to hear it straight from their kids: “Mom, you’ll always be #1.” They understand and feel love and protection, even without the words “I love you.”

Here, children aged 3 to 5 years old share how their moms show their love to them, even without words. Get your tissues ready, #1Moms!

“I know Mommy loves me because she shows up and cheers for me during school activities. Even when she had just given birth to my baby sister two weeks before my poem recital competition. I won because Mommy, my lucky charm, was there to support me," says five-year-old Mishka Jernielle Gomez about her mom, Jerni May.

Meanwhile, Vincent Ferrer, four years old, shares about mom Florie Vi: “My mom always kisses and hugs me! She sometimes asks me what I want to make me happy.”

NIDO® 3+5+, the toddler-expert growing-up milk, celebrates all moms as #1Moms! It understands the joys and struggles of parenting toddlers and supports all moms in nurturing a healthy future for their child. And through NIDO® 3+5+’s Mother’s Day campaign, we see how love is not a word. It's an act.

With a heritage spanning over 30 years, since its launch in the 1980s, NIDO® 3+5+’s iconic jingle, You’re My No. 1, has seen various renditions, including those performed by Sharon Cuneta and Barbie Almabis. Through the years, it has consistently captured the hearts of moms—as well as dads and guardians—experiencing the ups and downs of parenting their precious toddlers.

And for this year NIDO® 3+5+ is proud to release its newest version that pulls at your heartstrings, featuring a mashup with the 1990s song, Your Love by Alamid. Sang by both mom and child, which seems like they are having a dialogue, the mix integrates the two iconic songs to capture the campaign’s message of a mom’s love being more than words. NIDO® 3+5+ reminds them that because of everything they do, they are the always #1 in their toddlers’
