It's such a privilege to be able to breastfeed Layla until now. It's been almost 11 months, and I'm still loving every second of it. Every now and then, we still chill in bed together for some skin-to-skin TLC. I love that natural, pure, powerful bond that we share together in that short time.
Now that Layla is successfully sleep trained. Frankly, i miss a bit of those late night huggies with her. Haha, say only la... when she was waking up 6-7 times a night, it was really no fun for both of us.
She would cry the min she wake up until someone goes rescue her. Sometimes it's 1 min, sometimes it's 10. Basically, she is constantly waiting at our disposal which is really disruptive for her sleep. After she got older and more aware, it got worse, she would want to be carried in a certain way, a very specific way, and when i can't achieve that for her, she would wail with such intense anger!
I love my baby to the core. But those night wakings were tough and draining. I felt like i wasn't giving her the best of me in the day because i really just didn't have the energy.
I was constantly living in fear. I would tiptoe around the house so i wouldn't wake her up. I'll make Deon go hide in the yard, close the yard door just to open his can of coke cos i didnt want her to wake up while I'm in a middle of a meal. So stressful seriously!
11 months later, i decided to sleep train Layla. I must admit, the first 3 nights were really hard. Thoughts of giving up crossed my mind so many times! But I'm really thankful @deon.woo and Angela @upchild.sg stood by me and held my hand through it all, encouraging me to keep preservering. Finally on Day 5, she slept through both naps and through the night all on her own! I cried. It was tears of joy. I was so proud of Layla. It wasnt easy, but she did it!
I know many moms have a lot of questions re sleep training (like i did)! So I've decided to go on iglive with Angela on Thursday, 19th Aug, 1030am. You guys can ask us everything then! I'll share abt my experience and Angela will provide you with professional advice. She usually charge for consultation. So you guys had better make good use of this opportunity! Haha!
C u then!
