Hi Priya,

how are you doing? About the nites, Anushka does wake up but I hold her, carry her around while patting her back to sleep. And that seems to be working fine until now. And yes, once she sleeps on my shoulder, i don't put her back in the crib....i put her with me on the bed. And yes, there is no point in letting her cry coz that just makes her hysterical and then, its impossible to put her back to sleep. So, the minute she kinda stirs and just starts to cry, i pick her up and pat her back to sleep.

And i give her a 7-8 ounce formula bottle around 9:30 pm, and let her play for some time. Then, around 10:30, i switch off the lights and rock her to sleep. She sleeps thru the nite to get up at around 6:30 or 7 am...obv with some stirring at nite but no feedings.

This is what i do. I don't know if any of this will help. Kiran's boy also gives her a tuff time. These babies are just so unpredictable. You never know what they will respond to.

Regards,
Sheetal

Breast pumps
I am using a medela pump to feed my baby when I am out. The medela breast pumps are really a good choice for the working moms. We can pump the milk regularly and can store it and use whenever needed.... - dalewhither [View Message]
evenflo elan breast pump
Buy this pump! It’s made my life so much easier. I always got sore with my old Medela Advanced, but that never happens with the Ameda Purely Yours Breast Pump. What really makes a difference is its ease of use. It’s really easy to switch between pumping phases and take apart to clean. Strongly recommend it for all mothers that pump daily.... - stellatylor [View Message]

try this
As we discussed earlier in this forum I used magnetic alphabets , through which he has learnt alphabets within a week. And number within 4 days.
It is as like take the letter and stick to it where ever he goes more and ask him to search a particular letter. this worked very well for me.
all the best... - Manju [View Message]
