:thankyou:Funx3:
:congrats:
After 1st trimester? Then Should be Better From Now On ....
But still feel very tired. Lack of zzz. My youngest one kept waking up in the middle of the night crying badly. Has been going on for almost 2 weeks. If he is sleeping with me, he will wake up, cry and ask for maid. Then I will pass him over to my maid to sleep with him.
If he is sleeping with maid, he will wake up crying and asking for me. I had to carry him, pacify him and then he will go back to sleep with maid. Sometimes such crying can last an hour.
My maid and I become zombie... :snooze:
Some bbs are like that.. mine #1 was like that when I had #2.. when I had #3.. #2 was also like that.. but as bad as #1..
So, think will go on for a while..
Take care... -
Helo everyone!
Been catching on all 33 pages of this thread… reading reading reading… LoLz…
Self intro, m a FTWM of 3 kids, DS 5+, DD1 4, DD2 2. All 3 kiddos used to be in Full Day CC, but right now, only DD2 is staying hm wif helper, with mum occassionally dropping by my hse… while DD1 will be attending PCF starting in July, as she kept asking us to change her to PCF sch… really wonder y…
So far, havent started on any assessment book yet… but like wat most of you said… i guess it is easier to buy a new book rather den recycle it…
Hb is driving a saloon car, as required by his job nature, so the car is basically paid for by company…
DS is currently attending maths supplementary classes & swimming lessons on saturday, while DD1 is attending maths class on every Monday… Y maths? Coz they love attending the classes after juz 1 trial lesson… so i tot since they have interest juz let them join… no stress… all for fun i guess…
All my kids items, from bb cot, prams, toys, clothes, right from DS, all are 2nd hand or hand me downs, the new clothes they gotten r usually during christmas n cny… only recently we splurge a bit more for new toys, like beyblades for DS…
I’ve given instructions tat all has to be in bed by 830pm, but usually, DS will keep coming out of the room asking to pee, while DD1 will keep playing… n DD2, though pat to slp by helper, at times will get distracted… the 830am timing was implemented since late Jan this yr… but till now, they still can’t seem to slp so early… n DS usually will slp only at 10pm plus… any idea how n wat shld b done? If i were to b in there, i tink i’ll most probably doze off b4 any of them… -
Thank you everyone!
I think my youngest one kept waking up in the mid of the night because we just wean him off his pacifier. In the past, when he stirred or cried in the night, I just pop the pacifier in his mouth and he will go back to sleep. Now without his pacifier, he becomes very cranky. We have to give him the bottle instead and he will suckle on the teat like a pacifier but this is not a good solution as I am afraid it will cause tooth decay. Tried to change the milk to water last night but he was angry.
Sigh…everynite, 1am & 5am, he sure will cry…tiring. -

On sleeping:
DS2’s bedtime is between 730-8pm. He is 3+ and doesn’t take any naps. By 730 he will usually ask to go to bed as he is very tired. I’ll nurse him for about 5 min and he’ll either fall asleep during nursing, or soon after. I don’t pat him or lie with him. I’ll sit on the glider and surf my iPad!
DS2 will wake up in the middle of the night and make his way to our bed. He usually doesn’t bother us. Though my sleep might get disturbed coz of the kicking. Or if he wakes up extra early, like 5am, he migh start to sing or ask for something to eat. I sometimes leave a pack of crackers for him on the breakfast table so that I can get to snooze.
DS3 is 5months and usually goes to bed at 9pm. He’ll wake up to nurse, but will sleep from midnight to 6 or 7am. So it’s good. with DS1, i was woken up every two to three hours. DS2 also used to wake once or twice a night. but somehow now, I still feel so tired! Even more tired than with DS1 or DS2! I guess I’m getting old and taking care of three boys is really tiring…
DS1 is in P1. He used to have the same bedtime. But I realized that they would keep each other up. So I delayed DS1’s bedtime to 8-830pm. -

My DS2 sleeps at ard 9pm. My DS1 and DD sleep later which is around 10pm. DS1 and DD will sleep through the night (occasionally DS1 will wake up to pee). Really wish my DS2 will stop his crankiness so that I can have a good night sleep. -

I moved my dinner time to 6pm to accommodate earlier sleeping times for the two younger ones - 5yo and 3yo. My eldest is 12yo, and is allowed a later sleeping time of 10pm as he gets to wake up at 8am.
I've given instructions tat all has to be in bed by 830pm, but usually, DS will keep coming out of the room asking to pee, while DD1 will keep playing.. n DD2, though pat to slp by helper, at times will get distracted.. the 830am timing was implemented since late Jan this yr.. but till now, they still can't seem to slp so early.. n DS usually will slp only at 10pm plus.. any idea how n wat shld b done? If i were to b in there, i tink i'll most probably doze off b4 any of them..
The younger ones are given a bath at 7.15pm, allowed to potter about and lights out/dimmed lights for them from 8pm. They are usually asleep by 8.30pm or 8.45pm. My 5yo doesn't have naps, so she's out first. My 3yo has afternoon naps, but I try not to let him nap longer than 1.5h, otherwise it's hard for him to sleep early. My 3yo still needs to breastfeed to fall asleep.
To help establish a sleep routine, we usually pray in turn and then lay back and not move. I don't encourage my chatty 5yo to talk after the prayers, but I know she's churning with things to say. :lol: We keep quiet until I hear their breathing slow down a lot and then I leave the room. :imcool: -
My kids all take afternoon naps so it’s not easy to make them sleep earlier. My DS1 and DD are in full day childcare so they get to nap at least 2 hours after lunch. By the time they reach home from cc, it’s usually around 6pm+. After dinner and some tv time, they will take their baths at 8pm+.
DH and I want to spend some bonding time with them before preparing them for bed so by the time they zzz, it’s usually ard 10pm. -
Like tigger88, my DS & DD1 are in full day cc too, so they'll definitely have nap at cc.. their bedtime used to b at 9pm, so tat my DD2 can slp w/o disturbance.. but by doing tat, they often woke DD2 up once they r in the room, so either maid or myself will haf to put DD2 to slp again.. tatz y i decided to put all their bedtime to 830pm, but seems like it still doesnt work for my 2 older kids.. fyi, they all slp in the same room, DS & DD1 is slping on a queen size bed, while DD2 will slp on single bed alone..
we usually pick both kids frm cc btw 530 - 6pm, will get them to bath and eat, by 7pm - 730pm they would have finish they dinner, so 30mins play time, 30mins tv time, den 830pm bedtime.. at times i will be in bedroom singing bedtime songs for them.. but often they end up singing w me thus not able to slp.. :scratchhead:
