in response to my previous entry,
during the weeks (around 2 weeks) when baby’s not feeling too well (luckily she’s not that not-well, just mild cold) and when the air-conditioning’s ‘banned’ from being switched on, as it’ll cause the condition of her respiratory system worsen…
and when my body temperature also went up due to the non-existence of cool air-conditioning,
AND WHEN she refuses to sleep, or drink milk, and I was feeling so badly filthy, dirty, and sweaty… or sleepy!!
ya, I lost my temper,
lost my patience, and I’d choose to leave her alone for a while, then, she’d start crying, making the already bad night even worse…
so, after 3-4 nights of such straining situation…
and after seeing the doctor near my housing area…
and after consulting her if it’s really ok to put on the cool air-conditioning, she said it’s fine, cool but not cold!!
I told him, and I told myself (still telling myself) to withhold my ‘temper’ if she’s like that again, ie. doesn’t want to sleep, neither does she want to be nursed!! ie. just wanna look around, potentially play – IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT!!
then…
after trying this ‘not to get angry’ for a couple of night, in fact, it gets better…
I was the first person who told him, “she’s just a baby”, when he started to get serious with her, then, he’s been throwing back this sentence to me…
ya, “she’s just a baby”, serious!! if I get angry, or loose my temper, I’m only punishing myself…
badly!
and today, I came across that article by this “parentingbabytosleep” owner,
I’m thinking, “ooh!! how true!!” and remind myself again…
that I should not get ‘serious’ with baby…
she’s not been sleeping too well for the past 2 nights, maybe it’s a little bit chilly (oh, because of this, remind me of my next blog idea)
or, maybe she slept too much during the day, or, maybe for some reason…
but then… ok lo… she gets up in the middle of the night, I kept telling her, “no play time”,
gladly, I didn’t loose control of myself…, she got back to sleep, like nearly 3 hours??
ghee.. that’s why, big mama and baby sleeps till afternoon…
maybe there’s a grey area between ‘getting serious’, and ‘discipline’, but arrgh… whatever… just do what I feel right, right?
there’s no hard rule!
as long as she’s happy, I’m happy and he’s happy…
ghee… that’s why I like dr. spock principal…
