There was never any denying from the new dad and GMA 7 actor Joaquin Domagoso that he was going to be a father.
According to Pep.ph, rumors of outgoing Manila Mayor Isko Moreno’s 20-year-old son was expecting a baby were already floating around during his father’s recent presidential campaign period, so the baby news was put on hold.
Raffa Castro, younger sister of actress Claire Castro and daughter of actor-turned-news anchor Diego Castro is the new mom.

Pep.ph reports that Joaquin and Raffa’s baby boy Scott Angelo Domagoso was born on April 28, 2022 at FEU Medical Center, Quezon City.
What Lolo Isko has to say about Baby Scott
Scott is Mayor Isko Moreno’s nickname in his youth, which is likely why the new parents chose this name for their son.
“Itinuturing na isang malaking biyaya si Scott dahil siya ang naghahatid ngayon ng kaligayan sa pamilya ng Castro at Domagoso, reports Pep.ph.

5. Newborns need to be fed every two to three hours.
If you are breastfeeding, try nursing for 10 to 15 minutes at each breast. Some newborns need to be awakened so as not to miss their feeding time.
Remember that the gap between feeding time is at the start of feeding. If you began feeding at 10:00 AM but finished at 10:45 AM, the next feeding time is 12:00 NN not 12:45 PM if you are following every two hours.
