Sheepish/Shitcl
---------------
Sorry, didnt see you post before going to TMC yest, so didnt ask Mrs Wong about how to let bb sleep when outside. For me, I usually let Raphael sleep in sling outside and he sleeps very well there..
Yest, Raphael was soo guai when he was at TMC. He slept almost the entire 4hrs he was there, woke up once to drink milk and when I arrived at 4pm, he was also drinking milk. So, he didnt show his temper and fretfulness at all!!
But, I did learn quite a lot...so here's sharing with you what I have learnt..
Calming baby
-------------
To calm baby down, Mrs Wong put baby face down on her lap and pat his buttocks.
Raphael hates this type of tummy time position but yest, once Mrs Wong puts him this way, he immediately quieten down already. BUT, last nite, when he cried again and I tried this, it didnt work! hmmmm....
He bullies mummy
Sleeping in cot
---------------
For Raphael's case, I brought him there cos he needs to be carried to sleep. But yest, when he was sleepy, Mrs Wong massaged his tummy (to help in getting rid of wind), swaddle him, give pacifier, then place him (slightly on the side) in the cot. One hand hold onto pacifier, on hand pat his buttocks, and she also used this beanbag-pillow-look-alike thingy to place on him around the chest area....And voila! He guai guai sleep already!
Last nite, I also try this method of swaddle, give pacifier, pat buttocks and it worked =) Last nite, he fell asleep in like less than 5min! Maybe he was super tired, but I hope he will continue to be able to sleep this way...
The bean-bag-lookalike thingy, can buy there, it is call The Zaky..very costly ah, about $79...

I bought one cos I hope it will help. Been using it, think it gives him more security.
Teat size
----------
I have also learnt that the teat I using is far too small! I was using Avent no. 1 teat, but Mrs Wong yest changed to no. 3 teat when feeding him. When it is too small, he will tend to suck in a lot of air. I will be changing to using Pigeon bottles and just went to buy L size teat, will be trying on him later.
Bedtime
--------
A better bedtime will be around 10+pm. Raphael's bedtime so far is around 8+ or 9+...think I will slowly adjust his bedtime to later.
