I've been thinking for few months to have Claudia sleeping on her own, she's growing bigger and tossing and turning around more in the middle of the night, cause us to have sleepless night and have to squeeze ourselves to the side so that she has more space for herself. Hubby was a bit hesitant with the idea, he said wait till she is a year old, but already 14 months now still sleeping with us? Well, actually we didn't have a time to dis-assemble (maybe, we still prefer to have her sleeping with us) the cot (which we placed at our living room) and placed it our room until last Sunday. After we had finished assemble the cot and placed it next to my bed, I told her to sleep on her own from Tuesday night, because we have to stay at my mum's place to look after the house as they were on a vacation. She nodded and I assume she understood what I have told her, I kept on repeating that and each time she nodded at me (clever girl, she really can understand what I told her) and daddy & mummy were very happy and contended ...
On a normal day, I would put her in the cradle swing until she's asleep. I would then carry her to our bed. If she woke up in the middle of the night, she would sit up and asking for water, after that she normally will fall asleep back immediately. This happen anytime from 2.00am to 6.30am., but last night, I placed her in the cot with the hope that she would sleep through the night or not waking up and asking for water (but very unlikely!!).
At 2.30am, I woke up after hearing some noise, I saw her standing beside my bed and was already trying to climb out from the cot, when she saw me looking at her, she start faking a cry, I carried her out and she gave her some water. After that, I tried to put her back into the cot, but she cried immediately, and refused to get in. I told her "mummy's bed is just next to you, if you want mummy, mummy will come, but you must sleep on your own ok?" Wah cannot la .... she cried even louder lo ..... Mission failed!! No choice lo .... another night with us ....
Have to try again tonight, wish me all the best!!
