I'll be VERY interested to know also... Ben is not able to sleep very long on his cot. He always wake-up very hot , hair wet from his perspiration. In the middle of the night, he will start to wriggle and make some noise... need to pat him for a few minutes to get back to sleep in his "yao-lan".... that's why we KIV the travel trip... or else daddy will bring the whole "yao-lan" to genting..... haizhi mummiess, as per above... any advices? TIA =)
babe, yes ds can slp on bed during night time but is ON OUR BED. but we're okay with it as long as he dun rely on yaolan at night. he dun wan us to shake him in our arms, he just wan yaolan. but so far he has to be in the yaolan for all his naps. as for going out shoppings, he can fall aslp in his stroller as long as the stroller is moving (keep my finger crossed). just tt i hope can wean him off asap. =)may i know whether did you train your baby to sleep on bed during night time?
for mine is he slept in yaolan during the day time, night time i train him on bed.
yup.. go out is no choice need to shake in arm.. but if they are tire they will also sleep even you didn't shake them.
if need to shake , then you might have to find one place where not so noisy give them sleep already then put them in the stroller..
HAHAHA! ya i agree this is indeed a very BAD habit!!! i also regretted intro him yaolan!!! cos last time his head v flat den i tot by giving yaolan will rounder his head until my PD told me actu the flatten head will rounded on its own, dun hav to do any 'extra' things -.-||I replied to rainbow1234 post earlier.
aye... all you parents instill bad habits on your kids wahaha~~ *run away before kena rotten eggs*
what raeka did is correct, yaolan for nap is good but rocking while baby is sleeping in your arms is not advisable unless you want your arms to break LOL. As i told rainbow1234 in her post, put baby in yaolan n rock till baby sleep then transfer to cot. Of coz while transferring be gentle n no big movement otherwise baby will be awaken. You may have to transfer baby to & fro yaolan if baby is unable to fall back to sleep when he woke up during the transfer. also I find that when I am transferring son fm yaolan to cot and whisper softly to him that we are moving him to the cot, he do not fuss or wake up shocked n crying when he open his eyes n see that he is in the cot. We can pat him back to sleep.
i thot the "remedy" for flat head is to massage the head in circular motion to make it round?? :001_302:HAHAHA! ya i agree this is indeed a very BAD habit!!! i also regretted intro him yaolan!!! cos last time his head very flat then i thought by giving yaolan will rounder his head until my pediatrician told me actually the flatten head will rounded on its own, dont hav to do any 'extra' things -.-||

he is going to be a 4 yr old MONSTER soon!AugBoyz , I do not have a auto rocker , i rock my baby to sleep , when she sleep , we stop rocking her.

he is going to be a 4 yr old MONSTER soon!
now your baby is light you can rock in your arms, when she is 5-6mths old, i think you will cry whenever you have to rock her to sleep in your arms.
Instead of rocking why dont try patting her to sleep? Or you sit prop up on the bed n lay her on your chest? Sometimes this helps them to fall asleep too.
ya nw his head is quite round.. cos he slps on his tummy at night when he is slping on the bed. haha! sigh, he is now is yaolan again -.-||i m just joking with you ;-)
so now his head round round ?
How big is your baby at 6months ?For my baby, I dont have to wean off as all along last time in the morning baby used yaolan, at night put on bed.
Baby grew too big at 6 months to feel happy in yaolan.
One fine day, fly out of the yaolan by own, landed on the mattress placed below just in case. "Flying Baby" scared us with the act, I keep pressing around baby see and check got any broken bone. Luckily all is fine.
From then no more yaolan anymore.
