sgn-
actually all educational institutes have childcare services. so i'm spoilt for choices.. haha. but its just abt sending him to which. its also abt whether we are even gonna send him to one in the 1st place.
nellu-
indeed. but 18m is certainly a very tender age for either mother or baby to let go, isnt it? i cannot handle part timer leh. i'm a stick in the mud with everything. cleanliness, n babycare. everything. so i tell u, i'm the loser who just cant have help. coz nothing is good enough. tats why i tell u, its so hard on me coz i just cannt delegate!!
i totally agree with u abt this money thing. we're not hard up but at some pt of time sidney needs to go to a sch, and a gd one indeed coz its my strong belief that a gd sch can make a real difference to a child as it did for me. i never studied but i was ok.. n i wish studying wouldnt be a toll on my child. n nellu, im sure u noe what i'm tokking abt n would agree. thats why money is a concern. its no longer abt buying mommy fancy clothes and makeup or big car or house. thats why its a headache... sigh.
jasmine-
even if i have no.2 i will take care of both of them without any help. i just wish i can be a housewife forever. haha. got ur email, try to send out this week ok? coz lift upgrading, i'm seeking refuge somewhere else.
NAPS
sidney dropped his morning nap ard 12 months i think..yep they will get very sleepy before hitting 12pm. he used to fall aslp rite after his meal while i washed up. and was always struggling to keep awake. but it improves in 1-2 weeks time.mine was ok, wouldnt really resist naptime.
is he sleeping better in the nites tho? if he is, dun worry too much abt daytime naps as long as he gets abt an hour, i suppose?
sidney is 15 months now. so this is his schedule:
12-2.30pm nap
8pm bedtime until 7am
i think what u can do is try to keep him entertained until 11.15am? then put him in the cot n let him go n put himself to sleep. then after 3-4 days, drag to 11.30am. thats what i did for a start. until he was able to last till 12pm. coz if he naps too early, he will be sleepy by 5/6pm??
hang in there. its not easy with sleeping n feeding. but u're doing a great job. i tell my hubby abt u. how u left ur job, n even tho its tough, u're coping well. i'm VERY proud of u. its not easy at all. ")
