Dear Ladies,
Thank you very much for all you advises / suggestions.
She gets over-tired at night though I really do my best to prevent her getting over-tired. She doesn’t want to be swaddled. I burp her after breastfeeding her. I avoid food and drink that will cause her gas and wide awake. I give her a warm bath. My biggest problem is after I rock her and finally fall asleep in my arms once I lay her to bed she easily gets awaken. I wait for a minute before I pick her up but she doesn’t get settled so I have to start again.
I will start to find a lactation consultant.
I am also looking for a new paediatrician because my baby’s pedia just left Abu Dhabi to go back to France for good.
We went to a paediatrician 2 days ago but I didn’t like her much after she advised me to let my baby cry so she learns to sleep on her own. I asked her ‘’What if she cries for more than 30 mins?’’ She answered me ‘’Let her cry otherwise you can’t do anything and you will be with her till she’s 3 y/o.’’ I was so shocked when she said it. The tone of her voice was like demanding me to follow her advise and not like suggesting it. I held my tears till we got home. I was crying but not sure if it was because of tiredness and frustration or if pedia’s advise of letting my baby cry annoyed me.
I am also thinking of buying a cradle (made of cloth) I found on ebay because my back is already aching though I am having a second thought; what if she doesn’t learn to sleep on her because of cradle or if she gets used to it how about when we travel.
Last night she fell asleep from 7 to 10. Then 1:30am to 3:30am. Then 4 to 5:30am.
But again, thanks much for all your suggestions.
