re: sleeping alone
i think Anna n Jo were the 1st babies to be left to sleep alone on their own. actually M at vv young age also slept on his own. like AAA said, all these good habits were broken one by one. like Jo, i slept w her once when she was sick, worried that she'll vomit. after that, she refused to sleep alone liao... M made an improvement, he told mr pax - i sleep one mattress, papa sleep the other mattress, like that i'm sleeping alone.. to some extent, it was a big step bcos he dun need mr pax's closeness to sleep now. Jo still needs me at bedtime.
