Mom2nat, my girl before her full month already hate to be swaddle. Then worse, she gets startled very easily, so she used to wake up a lot in the day and night, she also does the same as your son. She is tired and will rub her face, rub her eyes, sometimes her nails long, end up will also scratch her face. So I will hold both her hands and touch her palm and coax her to sleep instead of patting her to sleep. I dont put any blankets on her when she is sleeping, coz I realised when the blanket moves at night she will also wake up, but strangely the bean pillow she is okay, sometimes I wake up, I will see her holding the bean pillow. My girl also the type who will sleep very soundly when you carry her, but the minute you put her down, she will wake up. I will carry her until she sleep, put her down and the carry her up again and then put her down, but when I carry her, I will not carry for long. I tried to let her cry it out, but it does not work on my girl, because she can really cry and cry and cry. Then she becomes more pek chek, then even harder to sleep.
Like Jacelyn says, mayb its hot, I sleep in the aircon room, so initially I off it and we use fan, but she could not really sleep well, she will wake up and wake up and rub her eyes, then after that I turn on the air con, also the same, then one night she slept with my mum in her room and wala, she slept through very well, so we conclude she loves the cooler temperature.
Yvonne, I using the red packet for huggies, I dont like, very high cut.
Jacelyn, I dont feed my girl if she dont wakes up
. Even wet diaper or poo I also dont, dont want to wake up her from her sleep.
re: tummy sleeping
for my girl, depends on her mood, sometimes she likes, sometimes she will cry like she in great pain.
re: sleep habits
I guess all the babies are different, like some of them sleep early, so I guess they will have the tendency to wake up earlier in the night too. My girl sleeps very late, so probably thats why she wakes up later too. She slept at 1am last night and then woke up at 6am, and she just woke up now. So in the afternoon she also naps a little bit only.
. But I highly doubt I will give bananas, very ma fan to find. I thought pumpkin or papaya sounds good other than apples and pears. But I will hold off the sweet stuff, because I wanna start her on brown rice cereal. But if she is like me, then maybe difficult because I got sweet tooth. However I want to keep her on FM till she is about 5 to 6 months. Now with milk she already take her own sweet time, also hard to feed her sometimes because she will struggle and cry. I cant imagine when she goes on puree, sounds like a messy affair.
