ADVICE & HELP!!

[jellybnzw]

My baby is about 3weeks old and she has started not to sleep in the afternoons! I have problems getting her to sleep and she just simply refuses no matter what I try! My confinement nanny will be leaving in one week and i need help and advice on what are the other possibilities. I have changed her diaper, fed her, pat her..anything and everything!

Hi EW, my baby was like yours but I bought the Fisher PRice Rainforest mobile with music and that puts her to sleep. Alternative is to use the yao lan (I never used myself but my friend has). Good luck

Hi ew,
is only 1 or 2 hours or whole of the afternoon?
As the baby grows older, they sleep lesser. Your baby sleeps longer during night time (instead of regular 3 hourly awake)?
Maybe she is adjusting her body clock.

If not, try yao-lan. I used it for my 1st baby but I think I started after 1 or 2 month old cos of the hot weather. You may need to check what age is more appropriate to introduce yao-lan as her bones are still fragile.

Hi my bb also sometimes refuses to sleep. So long as she is not crying/fussing, I will just leave her alone. After a while, she will sometimes fall asleep on her own.

Dear mummy,please advice me.. my 10weeks baby boy dun wan to drk from milk bottle so it very hard for me to leave him with my mother-in-law..Now i cant go back to work..

Hi Princess. Babies are actually very smart. You should not be the one feeding him the bottle. Get your hubby or MIL to feed the bottle. When he is hungry he will drink from the bottle but you cannot let him see you.

Btw, I have a very good condition yao lan (worth $110)I want to exchange for 4 baby boy sets. Let me know if you or any other mummies want to exchange. Thanks!

Princess, maybe you want to change to a larger teat? My baby used to have this problem. But once I changed the teat she started to drink better. I was BF her I think cos I had a good supply so when I got her on the bottle that had a smaller teat she didn't want to drink. But once it was changed it was not problem at all. But I agree with Erynn intially let your MIL feed and you leave the room. Later on you boy will get used to it.Good Luck!

It is recomended that the baby is put to sleep by the person who is not feeding it, because the baby will think of food and refuse to sleep.
