My Brianne is also 3.5 mths now and after her evening bath.. she does not want anyone else. currently my mum attended to her after her bath cos i will take mine directly after that. she will cry and scream till i take. sometimes.. my mum was so stressed till she comes into my bedroom and ask me to open my bathroom door so Brianne can see me and hear me while i shower to calm her down.
really don't know what's gonna happen after my parents mover out end July/ early august and hubby is out of town.
Mummies,
Re: Babies sleeping through the night
Brianne is not sleeping through till morning yet. after shower, i will feed her at 7.30pm and she will fall asleep on her own on my bed around 8.30pm. but she does wakes up at 10.30pm, 12.30pm, 2.30am, 4.30am and 6.30am
I tired cluster feeding after her 7.30pm feed in the 1 hr interval but she end up throwing up and i had to change my bedsheet and comforter at 10 plus at night.
after my parents' move, i will need to do up her nursery.. then will need to go through hell to correct her sellping habits like what Tracy Hoggs mentioned as Accidental Parenting..
for my case, I don't really have much choice as my parents and bro stayed with us. i don't have the environment to set things right from the beginning.
when i successfully put Brianne to sleep, she will be awakened by the slamming of doors (my bro and parents are quite "chor lor", the balring sound of radio / television (my parents are a little hard of hearing - i can even hear them in my room with doors closed / outside at the lift lobby)
When Brianne fuss, my mum will rush to her and pick her up. can't blame her totally, she waitied 12 yrs for her first grandchild (i first got married in 1997)in addition.. she is very stressed with brianne's loud cries, screaming and kicking till she sometimes almost lose grip of her when she throws her tantrum. She rushed in to prevent Brianne getting flared up.
with brianne's condition when she was born didn't help.. we don't have the heart to put her to sleep on her own.
Haiz... so much for trying to set things right from the beginning
Sorry for pouring out, just finished Tracy Hogg's book and have so much on my mind. tried stopping my mum to correct Bree's behaviour but she seems hurt.. like i don't want her to touch Bree or only deisgnate time to her.. like when she can and when she should not.
