Everyday is a new day

Just when I thought things has gotten in place and system is working well, baby has started with a new thing yesterday night and now makes me scratch my head to think.

Although she has not started crawling, but if you put her on the bed on the stomach, she would push her legs to move forward.  And her head would be on the bed as she pushes, so her head like glides on the bed.

I have already put bolsters and pillows around the bed.  We co-sleep since she was born.  But after yesterday's night episode, it makes me think now how to keep her safe and not fall.  No incident yet, but better safe than sorry.

Our bed is a queen size bed.  Because it's so small (compared to king size), husband have to sleep on the floor.  On the bed is baby with me, 2 pillows upright for me to lean against, 1 pillow flat for me to sleep, maternity pillow (detachable) as safety rail on the right and a small pillow as safety rail on the left.  Both baby and I share a comforter, though most of the time she prefers without.  There's also a bath towel (kinda like my smelly pillow).  I used that to cover baby sometimes.  On top of that, my pump parts and pump will be on the bed as well for easy access.

Yesterday night, she decided to wake up at 2am for milk.  I kinda foresee this already as she slept at 10pm.  Usually she wakes up every 3-4 hours for milk.  And usually, she sleeps with us at midnight and wakes up like 4am.  Sometimes, she just cry but still in her sleep and I just need to latch her and she sleeps on.

But yesterday night, after milk at 2am, she decided to stay awake and talk.  My lil girl can be talkative at times.  I switched off the night light so that it's pitch dark.  Thought she would get the message to sleep.  Nope, she continued to talk.  Then she rolled onto her stomach and started pushing forward.  When she reached to the point of no return, she would cry and I have to re-position her again.

Then she did it again.  This time, I don't know how.  But one moment her head was next to my arm and next moment her head was next to my foot and she was still gliding.  Luckily I manage to catch her on time.

Then I have no choice but to hold her in my arms and let her to continuously latch to sleep.  After some time, she slept off but woke up sweating all over because it's too hot in my arms.  So now I have to find a way for both of us to get good night sleep and safe for her.

Should I try putting her in the cot?  She is too used to sleeping with me on the bed, she might cry.  But it's safer in the cot, I think.  I still latches her at night for comfort to sleep.  I just love how she wakes up and when she sees me and give me a big smile coz she knows I am with her.  If put her in the cot means I have to get up.  Means no sleep for me too.

OK, shall try something new tonight.  Let's hope it works.

Review: Grand Lexis vs Lexis Hibiscus at Port Dickson

I have been to both and can honestly tell you that I much preferred Lexis Hibiscus to Grand Lexis.  And here's why. Lexis Hibiscus Pros: 1. Very near to the highway. 2. Located near the beach (although very small area). 3. Food stalls located within walking distance to the hotel. 4. Better services from the staff. 5. Bigger pathway for walkers and cyclist (for those who like to do some walking and cycling). 6. Better view of the sea. 7. Swimming pool is located outside the chalet with sea view (depends where the chalet is facing). 8. Sauna is provided in the chalet. 9. Wide spread of breakfast buffet. Cons: 1. A bit more pricey. 2. Public pool is boring. 3. No kitchenette. 4. If it rains, the sound on the roof is very loud because of the material of the roof (sounds like zinc roof). 5. Toilet door is without lock.   Grand Lexis Pros: 1. Nice public pool with slides for the kids. 2. Big swimming pool inside each room. 3. W...

The Big Kindy Search Continues

Since my last The Big Kindy Search post , I have been looking around for kindies and been visiting some.  Here's my feel about them all. 1) Tadika Diyana Read good reviews about this and decided to check them out, though out of our way and far from home.  I love how the price is quite ok but still a bit on the high side (you can check it out at their website). I visited the premise and I really love how it is run like a mini primary school.  It's huge, with its own hall, field and canteen, although downsize version and it's just like a school.  Not like a bungalow with rooms as classroom.   However, I have decided not to send my girl because they will be moving to Sungai Penchala (further up from TTDI, near to the Penchala Link), which will be much further from our home.  Though they do have transporters, but I feel very wary about sending my 4 year old (next year) to a transporter. What I like about Tadika Diyana is they have 2 medi...

PPUM Pediatrics Emergency Department

Being a mom proves to be the hardest job in the world.  Accidents do happen but when they actually happened, most people will panic and unsure what to do.  And when it involves kids, and being the mother of the only child, with no prior emergency experience, this is a traumatizing and frightening episode and a lesson for me to learn. My 3.5 years old girl was being very curious and naughty that fateful day.  She stood on the chair and play with my massage oil and containers and broke one of the small glass cups and when she panicked she came down from the chair and stepped on the broken glass. She was bleeding a lot and crying.  Since this happened at about 10.30pm, my first response was to drive her to a 24-hour clinic.  So, we went to the 24-hour Mediviron clinic but was turned away by the nurses, stating that her case is very serious and need to be referred to a hospital instead. My mind at that time was running at full speed.  I wasn't sure...
