Baby Cot is now empty…for almost 1 month…

Our room’s baby cot was empty for almost one month. We were planning to put AL to sleep with JL only when she would be 2 years old like JL.

However, AL seemed unable to sleep long in the baby cot. We tried letting her sleep in her adult single bed in JL’s room and she was able to sleep longer. We transferred the living room’s cushions and put on the floor between JL and AL’s beds. Next to AL, we put two adult pillows in one row.

What was the outcome?
She had been sleeping with JL every day and even at night since she was about 1 year old.

Breastfeeding?Initially Mummy was sleeping with AL on either the bed or the floor between the children’s bed. Then last few nights, Mummy slept in Mummy’s own room and Mummy being a light sleeper, so far able to hear AL crying for milk. So, Mummy would just walk over and feed her.

AL also had no problem coming down from the bed because we taught her to go down from the back first. She was also able to climb up and down the sofa.

Now, both JL and AL would sleep and nap in their own room.(History of the Kids' Room Part 1, Part 2 & Part 3)

For the past 1 month, we had been shopping for nice bed sheet for AL. To be fair, we wanted to get two nice sets for AL like how we got for JL. JL had two nice cartoon bed sheet sets plus some other plain color ones as spare which would be shared with AL. We took time to hunt and hunt in order to get a good bargain. We got her a nice Winnie the Pooh set with a big discount (more than 50%). The next set, we would love to get Princess AL set for her.

Mummy’s kids had grown up already…..quite sad also to see them growing fast…

Aussino had a sales recently and their princesses bedsheets were going for 70% discount. We got few sets for Yiu Yiu's room.

You have to walk over to the children room to feed Ariel during the night? Aiyo...so you're gonna have to live with broken sleep for a bit.

i think no2 is easier to train to sleep by themselves in another room. Justin also got no problem sleeping by himself. Its the bigger one that susah abit. Good that ariel is sleeping with kor kor now.

Jeriel n Ariel r so independent. My kids r still sleeping in our room. I wish they can be a lil more independent. But maybe I'll miss them when they really move out of our room. How contradicting! hehehe

Glad to know about that. Now the kids are so independent to sleep in their own room, two thumbs up to them!
