When trying to get baby to sleep...

Inilah perangai budak kecik ni kalau nak tidur sekarang.


For a boy, Ayden kuat melalak. Why? I don't know. namanya pun "little fire" kan? Semua benda nak nangis. Lapar, nangis. Nak kentut, nangis. In the middle of his sleep pun dia boleh nangis tiba-tiba pasal nak lepaskan kentut. dah lepas, dia boleh sambung tido balik like it was just a bad dream. Nak tido pun, kena nangis dulu. Ada one time tu, dia bangun tido, nangis untuk nak tido balik. apa punya perangai ntah.

Sometimes both of us pun tak boleh nak pacify dia so my mom will take him and tidokan dia. 9.5 out of 10 times, she succeeds. sometimes my brother will take him and serenade him to sleep. because Ayden is colicky, he prefers to be bounced / rocked / swayed / lullabied / sometimes all at once to sleep like how it's demonstrated above by my beautiful mother. like a little superman. and it'll work even better when there's music in the background. dia gayat but maybe sedap perut kot bila ada pressure kat perut camtu. sekarang 4.7 kg boleh lah dukung that way. cuba lagi sebulan dua ...

lepas dah jadi little superman, he has to sleep on the chest for a while until at least he's snoring. like a little koala pulak. Arwen was this way too. i kinda love it because i'm not breastfeeding (much) anymore so this is a way to bond with my baby. some people are against me doing this lest the baby gets too attached. isn't that the point? some people really don't think before they speak. they're too engrossed with butting into people's business that they fail to realize they contradict themselves. so they condemn me for not breastfeeding because i'm not doing my best to strengthen my bond with the baby, but when i koala him, they say the baby will get too attached?

some people just need to shut up and go away far far.
