need sleeping solution


Weekend ini kembali ke vivo hehe..coz grandma nya caleb ngajakin ke sono..kita berangkat agak sorean jam 3 setelah caleb took nap 2x, tapi sayang nap-nya ngga lama..total 2 jam for 2naps..I really hoped caleb would sleep again di vivo supaya malemnya ngga rewel...but anyway, I planned to go back home before his bed time..
but well...unfortunately...

Because Caleb loves going to the mall..and he refused to sleep..dia cuma bobo di MRT 30mins...and di vivo 15mins..his eyes popped open once we stepped in the mall..
and then pas makan, restonya crowded dan nunggu agak lama..akhirnya bener2 uda bed time-nya caleb dan kita masih belom nyampe rumah! oh Noooo....on the way home, caleb rewelllll buangettt...huxxx sampe org2 di mrt pada ngeliatin...I think he was exhausted...i tried to put him to sleep, but then he screamed....I knew I wasnt supposed to be panic..coz if you're panic, your baby can feel it and he will even cry more...but I did panic! Anehnya pas sampe rumah, dia seger lagi..senyum2 gituhh..haduhh ngga mau bobo lagi! padahal dia uda melek 5 hours lohh...that considered very LONG for a baby to be awake! and when I put him to sleep, he screamed and cried...I was exhausted too...so I gave up and gave him pacifier...and baru deh diem..and finally fell asleep!

I knew that some of you will go againts pacifiers!! katanya pake empeng menyebabkan gigi tonggos dll...aku juga ngga mau banget pake paci kalo gak terpaksa nehh...tapi gimana lagi...we don't have maid or suster or parent/in law to help us take care the baby..it was very very tiring on these kind of days...esp that caleb dari dulu paling susah ditidurin..ngga tau napa dia ngga suka kalo di lie down..kalo mau minum susu aja, pas ditidurin dia marah, kirain waktunya bobo...makanya kalo minum susu aja hrs cepet2 masukin botolnya spy dia tau kalo ini minum susu bukan bobo..otherwise, biasanya aku dudukin on my lap trus minumin susunya..
nahh ini lohh problemnya...karena caleb ini fuzzy before sleep...ngga kaya babies laennya..(walau enaknya si caleb ini bobo malemnya bisa sleep thru the nite. which most other parents still struggle at nights)..
i've asked soo soo many people about giving pacifier...and guess what...those who say DON'T are the ones who have maids/suster...Those who say "we can't live without pacifier" or "paci is our little hero" are those mummies who take care the baby by themselves! I guess because those with suster are easy...susternya bisa gendongin terus sampe baby-nya bobo...dan mereka kan ngga ikut ngrasain susahnya nidurin baby...

Pas di sby, susterku juga pernah kasi empeng..dan aku omelin..pokoknya ngga boleehhh...
ehh tapi emang sih pas di sgp..ngrasain sendiri susahnya boboin caleb...aduhh sometimes kalo dah cranky banget dan mummynya capek..apa bole buat...paci, I need you!

skrg lagi pergumulan...antara mau pake paci ato ngga...hubby bilang kalo urgent aja baru pake...waaaa the thing is I'm so tempted to use everytime boboin caleb...

how about isep jempol ya?
benernya di buku dibilang it's better isep jempol drpd empeng..krn anak tau kapan dia hrs stop isep jempolnya..but that can take long too..some stop only when they are 6 or 7 yrs old! bayangin di skolah ngempot jempol kan malu!
tapi juga banyak yg bilang isep jempol lbh susah di wean-off..kalo empeng kan bisa dicontrol pemakaiannya..kalo jempol kan ga bisa...masak mau diambil gimana...
I know that some babies/kids always need something to soothe themselves in order to fall asleep..mau itu empeng,jempol,guling ato boneka...I really hope caleb can find this 'thing' yang gak usa pake diemut...I really hope caleb can fall asleep fast, on hiw own....I really hope there's a breakthrough soon...

Dewi lagi ni :)

menurut saya, kasi paci better than let the kids suck their thumbs.

u heard the saying of, u can throw away the pacifier when it comes to weaning, but you can't throw away the thumb *oops*

chloe stop paci sekitar 18mths.
advice saya kalo ga minta, ga usah kasi, usahain limit for napping/sleeping hours aja. pas caleb udah lebih understand stuff, try to talk to him about weaning paci. bilang malu la.. udah big boy la.. ga usah makan lagi.. dibuang aja, doc bilang ga bole makan lagi.. etc etc :)

you'll be fine. don't be too harsh on yourself babe :D only a mother knows best what to give her child *wink*

cheers!

thanks so much!!
ya..I finally decided that I will use paci instead of thumb..but unfortunately, these 2 days when i give him paci, he spit it out! gw pikir krn perlu ganti paci since paci yg ini only up to 3 months..tapi gw udah beli yg baru..dia juga tetep ngga mau...ya udah ada bagusnya juga lah...tapi kalo dia lg cranky means I have nothing I can rely on to help him soothe himself to sleep hihi..
