wat does the sleep book teaches? I had never read any sleep book cos I thought if we practise attachment parenting, we do not condition our children to sleep in the nite... not so sure.. wat i do is on demand... we do have night time lights off routine but that's all done to help settle them down... i feed my son nite feed on demand till he was over 1 year old... joelle start sleeping thru by 2-3 mth old... she will sleep stretches of 5 -7 hours in the nite. they are the one who determine how long they sleep and when they wanna feed.

poohy,
In the book, there are several suggestions of getting babies to sleep. If baby wakes up at nite to feed, if the mother can, it's better to feed, cos baby is growing at nite and he need the nutrients. There are also some parents who get stressed and lack of sleep due to nite waking, Sears gave some recommendations to change it. The father's role is quite important cos baby is the next most trusted person. To Sears, if a family is falling apart, that's worse than tired nite feeding. The book advocates co-sleeping for baby to sleep better. The book also touches on some psychological part of a baby. There are also hidden medical conditions for nite waking, which are explained in the book. I got this book becos my hubby went for reservist and Aloysius did feel the separation anxiety. I realised that after reading the book, and the tips inside the book did help me to wind him down to sleep at nite during his dad's absence. Aloysius is very very close to his dad

the book sounds interesting. I do a varied version of co-sleeping... Instead of everyone sleeping on the same bed or floor, I put both my children's cots beside our bed.. one on each side. Its close side by side with our bed... safer with those rails cos my son may fall out of bed without it.. hehee... Joelle also.. once I put her on the sofa and after a while her head almost at the side ready to fall out liao... Samuel will wanna sleep on the same bed with us at times too... I dun object to that as long as it give them comfort they need..... being close beside us prob give them a better sense of security
sunflower, Lock and Lock discount seems quite good hor

nowadays my girl also co-sleep with us at night. mainly becuase she will cry when the pacifier falls off her mouth, n it's so tiring to walk to the cot n put it back tens of times! initially i worried it might spoil her (the co-sleeping) n she will have difficulty sleeping on her own later on. but can't help it, better than having crying baby whole night..

poohy,
It's quite an interesting read... I am thinking of buying a queen size mattress and put on the floor in my room for Aloysius. His cot is getting a bit small. Sometimes when he kicked and turned, his legs will get stuck and woke up to cry.
This morning, I just removed one side of his cot. Might try to put him inside his cot beside us. But worried he will fall. He's like a magnet to us... lol... He seems to like to be skin to skin with either me or my hubby at nite...
sunflower,
I think my boy likes my bed... lol... During the daytime, I used to put him in the cot, but now, gotta sleep on my bed.. and he will fall asleep on his own on my bed... sometimes, he will wake up and look around on his own, then fall asleep again on his own...
mum2B,
My boy co-sleep with us since after confinement. I breastfeed him, and I just need to turn and feed. Easier for me too. kekeke... He dun usually cry at nite. He will just "ah ah ah" and I will feed him already. Then he will fall asleep on his own while I fall asleep during feeding... lol... This early morning, dunno what time, he cried after feeding.. Think he had tummy ache. I just put him on my chest to sleep, then put him down on the bed again... I kinda know the reason for his crying cos that's not usual..

hahahaha... John Little frequently has this lock n lock sale one... Robinsons also has... kekeke... must refrain from going John little today... later buy too many... secarly every corner of my house all lock n lock... **faintz** I think those sale for sets is cheaper. For example, a picnic set usually cost $80, but during member's sale, it costs about $40... very cheap... save even more...

lyn,
during confinement time my boy also co-sleep with me , after 3 days of bending up&down to pick him up, i got backache.
so decided put him beside me, easier when he wakes up for his nite feed.
dunno is it because of this, he likes to co-sleep with us now.

Babies love co-sleeping with parents. It gives them comfort and security. Sometimes, when I carry Aloysius till very tired, or play with him till very tired. I tell myself these opportunities will not last long. Next time when he grows up, he will not wanna sleep with us anymore, nor want us to carry nor want us to play with. Time really flies... So now I cherish these moments more...
especially when I think back how small he was at birth and the different facial expression that he had, which I do not see now...
hidora,
Wah... 9.15kg at 3 months... Aloysius is only 7.5kg... What's his length?

I agreed with you. All these time, bit by bit that our baby grows are so precious moment. I do not wish to miss any of them cos i know time passes very fast, for when we knew, they've already grown up or should i say when time has passed, we can't go back anymore. One of my cousins told me that as we grow with our children, we tends to slowly forget the past, forget the face expression, actions of our children when they are a baby. So i think it's good that you had a blog to record the story of your child or take photos for our babies every mth, really a good memory.

lyn, serene,
fully agreed. I treasure every moments I have with the children... one day they wont want us to hug, carry, sleep with, etc... I treasure these moments of togetherness.. Ever since my son was borned, I kept my thoughts for him in his blog and now together with joelle's till now... I try to take photo almost every other day to make sure that one day when they are no longer so readily with us, and my memory starts to fail me, I will still be able to look at the blog story, their photo album and their videos and remember those priceless, sweet wonderful moments where God had blessed us with..
we try to record as much as we can (thanks to modern digital photography technology)... like for samuel, on his first birthday, on top of all the presents we can and did get for him, we did a special photo/video album of all his "first times"... we had a mini gathering that day with our closer relatives and everyone watches that video of his "first times"... imagine looking at it again in 10-30 years time.. and showing it to our grandchildren... hehee.. heartwarming...

Sometimes there are moments which cannot be captured on camera
Or maybe I am too slow to take out the camera... kekeke... Aloysius loves to stare at the camera and often forgot to smile or "talk". There are moments when I latch him and he gave me a wide smile when I sing to him
These are the moments that cannot be captured on camera though I wish to... Last nite, I just lie on my bed and watch him sleep
I am always alone at home with baby... There's not much chance for me to take photos of him. Today, Aloysius can grasp my fingers and lift himself in the air already
I have been "training" his grasp reflex. Only today, he can grasp and hang on his own! It's amazing, isn't it?

amy, hehe not my mum's pool, is public pool cos my gal has swimclass anyway
. I'm really going to buy a proper thermal wetsuit for her ~$40 but I think with their sch insignia lor. Irvin will have to tahan w/o one for some time yet, he's outgrowing his stuff (his WAISTLINE!) too quickly!

Irvin seems to like the water!
is it better to wear the thermal wear of just the swim diapers?
public pool safe or not, is it dirty?
how long do you put your bb inside the pool?

irvin looks so cute and chubby!!!
Me too, going to buy samuel a proper thermal suit this saturday before his swim class.. he keep shivering after a while in the pool and the instructor keep asking me to put on an extra suit for him .. i might as well buy one... with school logo too.. but its very nice and colourful hehee
Which school is your girl attending? The thermal suit is so cheap at $40+...
irvin looks so cute and chubby!!!
eh poohy, dun buy lah, they loan for free right? 
cos outgrow very quickly- if u worry abt the condition/ cleanliness of the loaned pieces, just let him wear a normal zip-up type swimsuit inside? Yah $40 seems to b the cheapest thermal around, I haven't seen an actual piece yet- Aquaducks instructor said material same as what she was wearing (which looked decently thick to me)?
i really find that SMALL pools are colder- the one @ Mars tends to be so chilly, I often put 2 layers of thermal.
Joanna,
swim diapers are a *must* cos if the bb poos in the pool, u may get fined for pool clean-up. It's also dangerous if there's poo- can get all pool users seriously ill.
thermal wear is if the water's too chilly. Some bbs can tahan better than others
.
I really dunno abt cleanliness level of public pools... anyway I dip him 10mins max. He has no swimtop, loses heat very quickly.

lyn, poohy, serene,
agree with all of you. they grow so fast. Looking at him now, it seemed so hard to imagine he was so small only 3 months ago. There are some expression that i have not managed to capture on video or camera. my boy seems to know when he's 'on air' will always stare at the camera, video recorder. so can be difficult to capture that beautiful smile. So have to depend on my in-built camera to capture that smile in my heart.
It is only these few short years that they love us to hug, carry, sleep with them.. and time seems to fly so fast.

Lyn & Sunflower...I have difficulties capturing my girl's hearty laugh/beautiful smile on camera/hp too...often she will be playing and laughing then when she sees me focusing the camera or hp on her...she will stop and stare hard at me...haha
I think babies are smart enough to know that they are 'on air'..lol
