Wow! This is the 1st time I’m actually blogging and it’s so weird. I feel like I’m washing my dirty linen outside but I hear its fun, so why not
I’m Nana’s mum and I’m always in a hurry to go to sleep after I put her to bed. Why? Becos she is 7 months old and she is still not sleeping thru the night and I feel like every time I have to catch a sleep here and there.
She went to bed around 8.30pm and was up after 45mins, im the only one who can put her to bed so my DH had to console her while I finish with my shower. I wouldn’t mind some advice on how to get my Nana to sleep thru the night. I could go on and on but I need to get some sleep before she wakes up again.
Isnt it interesting how motherhood can change people. You seem to be in a race all the time. I bet the chores of motherhood also affects husbandhood and fatherhood as well.
ReplyDeleteI hope you also have time for your husband. Its very important. Am a mother of 3 kiddies and l can identify with what you are going through. For Nana to sleep through the night it depends on what you give her before you put her to bed. With my kids l give them something solid "( cerelac or something similar)" try to keep her awake during the day at 7months is when you can train her.Believe me babies are very wise and demanding too and know what to do to get our attention.They also learn very fast. Every child is different. Hope this tips works.

It is sooooo hard combining motherhood and being a wife. Now my whole perception has changed and i wont judge anybody again.believe me, i dont know how you manage 3 kiddies ,husband and work OH Gosh wow!my husband has been neglected for a while but now we are going to make conscious effort to make sure that he doesnt feel neglected.
ReplyDeleteWith Nana i have tried everything,i make sure she is feed before she goes to bed, i give her cereal, not cerelac though and nurse her as well.it doesnt seem to be doing the trick.
