min, congrats on your success. I am also very motivated by your success. After reading your sucess, I was planning to start the cry it out method tonight. My husband and I was rocking her to nap since 6pm til 8 pm. Until we give up. Since its nearly time for her night routine, we just took her out from her yao lan. I sponge bath her, change into her nighties, put her in cot, on the aircon and finally off the light. While I lie on my bed beside her cot. At first all is quiet. Then 2 minutes later she started to be restless, then some complain voices, then started her cries. She cried for 25 minutes and finally fell asleep on her own, without any yao lan or human pacifier. The only thing I did is to say "sayang, sayang, mama sayang, its time to sleep". I just repeat the same thing again and again during the times she cried the loudest. I stopped my chant when she quiet down at some point. Then when she started crying louder and louder, I will start the chant again. Until she finally sleeps.
Really heart pain to hear her cries, she sounded so.....oooo... pititful. Really poor thing. I nearly wanted to give in, but keep telling myself this is for her own good too. Luckily didn't give in. Hopefully tomorrow CIO time will be shorten.
Thank-you Babylele and min for inspiring me.
Just a word of cautious to mummies who wish to try. An adult should be around by the side. As they are crying and usually we will feed them full when putting them to bed. They tends to choke on their own cries or their own feed. So if you sense that they are seriously choked and need help, don't hesitate to give up. My girl did choke, but is able to clear up by coughing. So its not too serious that I have to help her.

sporty, I also pumped twice at work. Pump at 1230 and 1630. I tried to keep to same timing everyday. If not may slack off, like during my son's days. Then milk supply will drop :-(
BTW my feeding and pumping routine after starting work is as follows:
0630 - pump
0730 - latch
1230 - pump
1630 - pump
1930 - latch
2100 - latch and pump simultanously

min,
Ur baby's name also have kai. Mine also have and i also call him kaikai sometimes. Congrats to ur training, yah different babies needs different kinds of training so can't follow too closely by the book. Mummies knows our babies best so just do whats best for them.
bidosoh,
Congrats to u too. Just remember the crying phase will pass once they acquired the skill of sleeping on their own. For me i can't stayed in my boy's sight or even talk to him when training if not he wouldn't stop crying but just stayed out of his sight and jaga him. Brought my boy to yishi today cause his eczema had flare up. Yishi said his body is born on the heaty side thats why he always feel warm.
sporty & melodie,
Do take lots of photos of tomorrow's gathering and post on fb.

Sorry, Mia for quite a while.
Just an update, after few days' training by my mum (she came over to stay with us), my gal is finally ok with bottle feed. Though she will struggle at times, but she's drinking. However, she still refuses Avent bottles, now feeding with NUK.
Then I realized she doesnt like us to carry her when we feed her. So I keep feeding her while she's in yaolan, cot, rocker or bouncer chair. And also sleep feeding works very well!! She can drink up to 150ml when sleep feeding (normally she takes 120ml).
For the past one week I have not been latching her at all, fearing that she might want the breast again and refuses bottles. But I wanted to latch her again. When would be a good time for me to start latching again?

Hi bidosoh & sporty,
Ok, I shall try to latch her tonight to see if she remembers how to latch. Guess I have to establish the routine for her before she attends infant care and before I go back to work.
Wow! Seems like it's going to be a big gathering later. It must be great to have all the Nov babies and mummies coming together. Too bad I didn't know earlier. Have fun!!

Hi Sporty, Mel, Devlina & all mummies who have contributed in one way or another, thank you so much for organizing today's gathering.
The goodie bag was a pleasant and thoughtful surprise. My husband and I enjoyed seeing so many November babies together, and I think little Yingxuan enjoyed making so many new friends!

Min,
Congrats!! So u mean your baby now can sleep on his own w/o a cry?? wow!! power!
You know the book says the crying will reduce as days goes by but mine still cry for at least 30mins before he can sleep for the night, but the naps are doing great though, mayb 10mins of crying and he falls aslp, generally can slp for 1-3hrs per nap.
Wonder if i did anything wrong on the bed time routine, care to share yrs?
