Nillie_Mami,
I am so glad to found your topics here. Thank you very much.
My girl is now 17 months old already. I am still breast feeding her at night time. She started to sleep with me on the master bed since she was 5-6 months old. At the beginging, it was becasuse I am so lazy, you know, nursing her would be much more convinient when she was by my side. She used to suck my nipple to get to sleep. Even when she wake up at the middle of the night, she will look for my nipple in order to get to sleep again. She still wake up 2-3 times every night. We had move house 3 months ago and I did not let her sleep in the master room anymore. She now sleep in her bedroom but with me i.e. I am sleeping in her bed with her, so that I can nurse her at night time p.r.n. Do you think I should stop her nipple sucking habit and let her sleep on her own? Will it make her feeling very bad? The hidden reson behind is I want a bit more private time with my hubby and we want one more kid
Shall I let her wean breast feeding by her own?i.e. wait till she do not need breast feeding then train bed time routine? Cause I am a working mom and night time is the only moment I can nurse her in weekdays.
I got a second question if you don't mind.
My girl just like to poop poop on a clean diaper. She do not have very regular bowel motion schedule but she sometimes will show signal to poop poop. We had try to put her in potty, but she think the potty is rocking toy and just play on it with no motive to poop poop in it. Then we try to put her on the toilet board, she still do not make. After sitting for 10-15 mins we take her down and put on a clean diaper --> that's the time she make poop poop
What shoul I do?
小wahB,
as she is 17 months, if you are ready to have a second kid, it is time to let your daughter to wean BF at night.
also, not to skin to skin at night if she is not hungry. as you are giving her a wrong signal that you are her "human pacifier". you should stop it by now. also, to have skin to skin at night, that will increase the risk of tooth decay and underweight.
You can nurse her before work, and before bed, also, nurse her at weekend if she wants it.
you need to start the process of bed time routine from now, she is a toddler and she knows everything what you talk to her.
for the toilet training issue, I will answer you in the potty training forum, so other mom will have a chance to read your case. ok?
[size=large]that will increase the risk of tooth decay and underweight.
I can understand the tooth problem, but why it cause underweight? My girl is UNDERWEIGHT. She was 3.12Kg at birth but having sepsis at 2nd week and then all along follow the line of 3 percentile. She is not very willing to eat. never drink more than 200ml milk a meal and now is having congee/soft rice 2 times a day. She just eat little whatever you give her. What we have been doing is small frequent meals, and this is the reson why we established her habit of night breast feeding. We just feed her on her demand and we thought that drainking more milk at night can help her gaining weight!? Just like we eat night foods will get fat?
Anyway, I agree with you that I should stop skin to skin at night and I should go back to sleep with my hubby. I just want to do it with less tears :-(
What am I going to do :
She usually sleep at 8pm, so I should nurse her at 7:30 and say good night to her after she finish. Put her on her bed. Shall I still sleep with her at the begaining? Usually she will cont' sucking till she fell asleep, shall I let her do so? At the middle of the night, when she wake up and look for "human pacifier" what shall we do?
Sometimes I have to work at night, my husband/my maid will give her a bottle of milk as pacifier to make her sleep. I think we should stop this also, right?
I go to work at 6:30am, nurse her before work means wake her up at 6am and she must cry when saw me going out. I used to be as quiet as possible and go out before she wakes up cause we want her sleep more--> sleep more can gain weight? How to due with this problem?
Shall I start the bed time routine first and toilet trainning later ? Or just train both at the same time? Would it be too stressful for the small girl?
小wahB,
I will say that because she doesn't able to sleep thru the night.
As she is really underweight, she really needs to establish a good sleeping pattern.
When you can have a good night sleep, you will gain weight. we eat supper and gain weight, because those food with all calories.. but breast milk is not.
Firstly, train bed time.
1. cut off all skin to skin at night, breast feed her before bed. If she wakes up, feed with milk in the beginning. after 2 weeks, wean night bottle by giving her water in bottle ( warm the water prior it).
2. after you make it. Then start bed time training
3. as you know your lil one will cry in the morning, leave it, don't skin to skin in the morning.
4. Do you pump milk??? I guess that you don't right? then you have to prepare yourself, your milk supply may stop at anytime.
After bed time routine set up and run smoothly, you can start training her with potty training. she is 17 months, as a girl, she is old enough to learn it.
I am a surgeon
I leave my house at around 6:30am and usually come back at 6:30pm. I have to on call in the hospital 4 times a month. My maid will sleep in my baby's room and give her a bottle of milk as pacifier when I am on call. My baby never takes the bottle if I am near by, so if I cut off skin to skin at night, can I let my maid to give bottle to my baby just like when I am on call? or I should stay with baby and told her by myself that mammy is not going to give you the nipple anymore?
I did pump milk everyday, once in the office, just around 3-4oz, not much. I can pump once more in the morning if I am not going to feed her before work.
小wahB,
so, you better cut off all skin to skin at night. and give her bottle of water instead of milk.
if you still pump milk, then do once before you go to work.. or during the night (prn).
we need to let her know. you will not be around with her at night no more.
to beginning with that.. let her to have bottle with water. not milk.
Also, after she knows that she will only get water at night, she will wean night feed very soon.
do you understand .. why your daughter is underweight? it is mostly because she can not sleep thru the night. therefore, her body burns more calories than she suppose to be. Therefore she doesn't gain weight (also because of the sepsis which she has when she was lil, did she on feeding tube, plus IV antibiotics??)
At the day time, the intake is very important as well.. sorry that I don't help mami to write diet and set up time table any more.. as I don't have time to do it. I used to do it years ago, when I was a full time mom.
anyway, I guess that you know more than I do. ^o^
For me, I also pump milk, I pump 2 times at work (I am a night shift nurse in charge) and skin to skin at day time every day.
