but the nightmare really began at night when wormy refused to sleep THROUGHOUT THE NIGHT. nothing we do can sooth him back to sleep. we carried him and rocked him and just when we thought he's asleep and try to put him to his cot to sleep, he started wailing again! my mum, hubbi & me took turns to carry him but it was really very tiring and stressful. both of them wanted me to rest and refuse to let me carry him but i just cant bring myself to sleep when he bawling away in the living room. :(
finally at 4+, after his feed, he manged to quiet down BUT NOT ready to be settled in his cot. so poor hubbi carried him in his arms from then till 6+ in the morning when wormy is finally tired out by his own nonsense and was so fast asleep back in his own cot that no noise can rouse his from his deep sleep! *sigh*
anyway, we finally know the reason for the crying. he was simply HUNGRY but we never thought of feeding him as we were sticking to the formula feed of 3-4 hours so rigidly that we forgot that we were supposed to feed baby on demand. arg! so now, whenever he cried, 90% of the time is cos he's hungry and he's easily soothed and remains contented after a good feed.
well, we all learn through the hard ways at times, no?
to end the post with a swaddled up wormy. hubbi & i found it funny when he's all swaddled up like this. but not recommended for long in stuff spore weather:
