my girl has started to wake up more often these days too and i was wondering why..... so what shld we do when they wake due to separatn anxiety? I know the fastest way is to latch her on but i refuse to do it cos its a bad habit..... I usually just stand at her cot and pat her but some nights she just cries non-stop. Tired.

Hi zaczac/wendyg,
Oh... the capsule i have got very strong herb smell. guessed it's because i mixed it with some other capsules
Brownie,
I am experiencing that for the past 2 weeks. denzel is waking up every 1 hrly for the past one week and it has "improved" to 2 hrly the last week. i have been latching him to stop him from crying. Oh no, didn't know it's wrong. What can be done to change this?

hi ineedmilk, samantha,
Frankly, i also dont know what shd be the correct way. Initially, i tried not to cuddle him but he won't stop crying. So no choice, i will usually carry and cuddle him for a while as didnt want him to wake up my girl who is sleeping in the next room. There were times that I had to on the lights to wake him up as he just wldnt stop crying while his eyes were still shut, as if having a nightmare. Once he woke up, he will give me this huge smile of his... Luckily, the problem went away after 2 weeks. Probably he had the assurance that mummy is there.

hi mommies, any remedies for baby who's restless in sleep ? My boy keep shouting/moaning in his sleep nearly every half hour...
I couldn't understand why (tried making room cooler, feed milk etc). My mom say he's too restless (want to play etc). Does anyone has similar problem ??? thanks

actually i am quite bad.. the other night when she was crying (woke up at 12am, 1am, 4am, 5am, 7am).. in the end, my hb just left her in the living room (on her bouncer) at 7am... and we closed our bedroom door to shut out the noise. She cried for 1 hour..... until i can't take it went to check and realised that she poo... poor thing, kena tortured by her parents.

i need milk
i also quite bad. Recently my girl has been refusing to nap. There was once i got angry and decided to leave her in her cot for her to cry it out while i sat on a matress and watch. My MIL cldnt take it. She knew i hate it when she tries to interfer. So she went out of the hse and later complained to my hb...
whatever it is, i think it is impt that b4 we leave bb to cry, we need to be sure that they are not crying because of hunger, wet or discomfort. Also, it is not safe to leave them unattended in a bouncer 'cos at this age, they might overturn. Usually if i need to leave them for a while, i will put them in the cot 'cos think it is the safest place. at most a 'ba ru ku' if they knock their head agst the cot.

i also cannot bring myself to stay in front of the pc after work.. of course, one deterrent is the slow start up of my pc at home..
i've decided to throw in the towel n engage a part-time domestic helper to clean the house. decided that no point making myself tired over the weekend n cannot enjoy my time w family. i also wont grumble at my hb that he doesn't do enough of his share.. if anyone has good recommendation for helpers, please let me know ok? thanks!
i now realise the wonders of rest on breastmilk supply. yest was down w flu so rested pretty much the whole day, and for both yest n today's expressing session i could get slightly more than 100ml. that's double of what i get previously.

phoebe, ur maid is terrible! how can forget to feed baby one? maybe u want to keep calling back to remind her until it's drilled into her mind. also, can try not to ask her to do too many things during the day so that she is not too busy to forget?
temple, i'm trying to find a reasonably large chalet so that while guests are mingling in the hall, baby can get to sleep if he's tired. Also, to be able to get my own catering. Think costa sands insists we need to get their contracted caterer. The east coast one is no longer available for rent huh?
For once, TIG Thursday! hehe..
<font color="0000ff">A kangaroo kept getting out of his enclosure at the zoo. Knowing that he could hop high, the zoo officials put up a ten-foot fence. He was out the next morning, just sauntering around the zoo. A twenty-foot fence was put up. Again he go out.
When the fence was forty feet high, a camel in the next enclosure asked the kangaroo, "How high do you think they'll go?"
The kangaroo said, "About a thousand feet, unless somebody locks the gate at night!" </font>

yah, heard that no good to celebrate birthdays belated, but dunno why.. my parents also dun want us to celebrate their birthdays after the actual day.
phoebe, poor u.. not easy to handle maids these days. if she really forgets again then u may have to consider changing her. y dun u put him w a nanny full day n u go without a maid instead? that way u can do some housework during the morning n may not need a maid anymore.
