Kitty, the kitchen is too high for me although less hazrds to look out for n easier to get water. Today, I tried the dinning table. My gf told me it's much easier if I hv a spare b/rm. just lay everything on the bed, put the tub on the bed, fill with water then bath. I am trying to reduce the chance of bending my back, so my dinning table work best. Ystd, I learnt to hold him, switch him btwn hands, techniques to was various parts, sequence to washing various parts. I was constantly reminded to splash water on his tummy/ back to make him warm. Bcos the counter was high, I had to tip-toe, and after the bath, I realized the tub has moved inward. And bcos it's next to the sink, I dont v thing ready, but hv to walk back to the bedroom to chg him (and just b4 that he throw up some milk on the floor n CL just mopped, so making it even harder to walk), also bcos he had a small poo in the diaper, I removed the towel fr my shoulder, so whn hubby passed my the towel, we were both clumpsy.. Overall, bb din cry but I can see he fr his face that he knows I m not confident. Today, I ran thru in my mind what is first then next, but he cried..
RE: cry in sleep
HBb, I was also told bb grow out of it eventually, usually abt after 1 mth, but when I drove him fr my mom's to hb's office last sat, he cried till no sound whn we reached hb's office, it's that kind of "scared" cry then turned into "frustrated" cry, think the bumps in the road had caused him to startle then no one to tap his chest (which I usually do whn hb drives). He is 1 mth today, dunno when will he grow out of it, so worried..
