my PD is at rivervale mall@sengkang leh, called kids clinic
Janbb & Kam,
maybe u can try let #1 bond more with ur hb now, so that when #2 comes, #1 will not have a hard time not having u around to sleep with them.
I feel "training" should start early, the longer u delay, the harder it is.
But then again, every kid is different, might not work for all, but its worth a try.

RE: CIO method
I also cannot do the CIO method cos I cannot bear to let my girl cry out. Also, she is the type who will cry until she cough and vomit. End up more work for me.
I also strongly believe that the CIO method does not work on younger children cos they will not understand why the mummies have 'abandoned' them. Most of the time they go to sleep from sheer exhaustion of having cried so long.
So I told myself that if by the time she is 18mths or so and understands reason and she still hasn't learnt to sleep by herself then I will try the CIO method.
If you check out other overseas forum, alot of mothers believe that children will learn how to sleep on their own when they're ready. Some do it very early like a few months old and some simply need more time. At one pt, i was practically waking up every hr to carry my girl back to sleep.
Fortunately for me, my girl learnt to sleep on her own when she was abt 11mths, it wasn't easy in the beginning too cos i had to keep 'fighting' with her to lie down and relax otherwise she will keep climbing up. I also keep telling her "it's night night time". But now after one over month, she is an expert in putting herself to sleep already. Sometimes she wants to play or climb I will tell her "it's night night time" and she will guai guai lie down. Only thing now is she needs me with her before she can sleep, even in the middle of the night if she wakes up, she sees me there she's ok, she just sleeps back. But if I put her in her cot by herself she will wake up, not see me there and cry.
So that's the next on my list to work out.

Re: CIO
I agree with luca that training needs to start early, it gets harder when they grow older. At least can still put them inside the cot now but when they are older, can't even contain them anymore. There's a misconception that we're abandoning the child by leaving them inside the cot. Of course we have to make it a point to tell them nicely that it's time to sleep and they have to learn to sleep on their own. If we can maintain a calm manner when they're crying, they're more likely to cry less and try sleeping. Of course every child is different and whatever we choose to do is all personal choice. Just sharing info here only
Some mentioned when they grow older they will learn to sleep on their own. I'm not sure how true but don't think it works just by looking at my nieces. The elder one is 13 years old but she has been sleeping with either my mum/sister since young and now she cannot sleep alone! She still sleeps with my mum now. When she went to china with her teachers last year, she had problem sleeping at night becos there's no one beside her so she begged her classmate to let her sleep in the same bed as her. Needless to say, she didn't sleep well at all for the entire week while she was there.
As for my younger niece who's 4 years old, she's been sleeping with my sis since young and now she sleeps on a single bed beside their queen bed. Same problem - she can't sleep alone and needs dad/mum beside her, even for naps! I see it as a very unhealthy problem becos they won't go to the room to sleep on their own even when they're tired so they sleep around 11ish every night since they have to wait for my sis or mum to sleep.

Sigh, raeAnne woke up at 3am last night, hubby couldn't get up cos he slept late marking scripts. The fm is already in the warmer but I knew she won't take it if I feed but no choice got to try. Tried putting it in her mouth for 4 times but she keeps beating the bottle and turning her face away. Bo bian, got to latch and try to keep it a short session, try to take In2grace's advice and don't let her fall asleep on my breast. Carry her to cot, she immediately alert and cry. My cot also very lousy, cannot lower the side with one hand one so putting her down sure wake her up from drowsy state. Sat on sofa bed beside her cot and keep talking to her. Ask her to sleep on her own. Carry, put up and put down for 3-4 times. She cried, rolled, complained, stand up, fling herself back on cot, climb up again. Nothing can console her. After it went on for 15 mins, I wonder if I'm doing the right thing by staying in the room. But can't bear to close the door and let her cry insider. Sigh, end up carry her back to my bed. She continue to cry and complain until hubby woke up and carry her outside. Once hubby carry her, she keep quiet.
Actually, she got no problem sleeping if 1) I latch her on and 2) I let her sleep on my bed. But MY problem is 1) I'm going to stop BF so can't latch her on 2) If I let her sleep on my bed, I can't sleep cos ours is a queen size bed and my daughter is also a 'wu ying jiao' and 'rotates like a clock hand'.
Think I may need to ask hubby to handle the night feeds and night wakings. I think he is going to feel very 'bo hua' liao. Let wife be SAHM, end up still cannot get a good night's sleep.

Pauline: Last time I "replaced" latching with carrying, I carry very very very long :'( not without my girl complaining. So just hang on there. Usually night feeds are the last to go.
Maybe I tell you my weaning schedule:
Usual BF schedule b4 weaning (kept the same schedule on formula, small quantities)
Morning Wake up 1 feed
Morning 10-11am b4 nap 1 feed
Afternoon b4 nap 1 feed
Afternoon wake up from nap 1 feed (this is a top up feed before dinner cos I will only next feed her before bedtime at 8plus- she is really skinny so I don't have a problem adding more feeds)
Night 1 feed
Night wakings feed as per needed
I started off with the top-up afternoon post-nap feed cos I knew if she rejected the bottle not so much of an issue. Only when she started to self drink from the bottle I con't to knock off the morning and afternoon pre-nap feed. She started to reject food about 1 month ago so I added a pre-bedtime feed before latching on. I try not to feed at night wakings. Last night 1st time wake up for over a month, I gave her formula cos I suspected she was hungry. I will probably still latch on at night for the next month or so, but I think she is ready for weaning off the pre-bedtime feed.
If your hubby too tired just con't the night latchings until she is happily drinking from bottle during the day and stopped needing the breast to fall asleep lor. Sometimes my funny girl will only allow ME to feed her the bottle. ???

In2grace,
I trained my boy to poo in the potty. Every morning after milk i will put him on the potty and say "eng eng" then he will poo. If he didn't poo i will try again after lunch.
