Day & Night

Finally, Baby Chloe is able to distinguish day & night. She usually stays quite awake in the afternoon and sleep in the night. I realise her changed of sleeping pattern since last week but I want to observe for a longer period of time to confirm her changes.

Baby Chloe is a late sleeper like her Papa. She would go to bed between 12 midnight and 1am. Then she would wake up between 4 - 5 am and then between 7 - 8 am depending on how hungry she is on that day. Baby Chloe continues to sleep after the feed at around 8am and my maid will wake her up at about 9.30am to bathe her. After her bath, it is the feed again at about 10am.

Subsequently, she would cry for milk every 2 hours until 10pm at night which equivalent to about 6 - 7 feeds between 10am to 10pm. In between, she would nap for estimating total of 3 - 4 hours depending on the activity on that day.

Baby Chloe likes to go Gai Gai, She feels very comfortable with her "Ferrari" Stroller while we bring her to shopping mall. Baby Chloe is never affected with the mass noise in the malls and restaurants, she continues to sleep very soundly. To be exact, I think she could sleep better in her stroller when we bring her Gai Gai compared to putting her to sleep at home. Perhaps malls and restaurants are fully blast with air-cond and there is only a pathetic fan at home to cool her down which obstructed her from her nap. I didn't want the air-cond during the day for her as I didn't want her to get used to air-cond too much. Besides air-conds will make her skin quite dehydrated no matter how many glasses of water I put in the room.

Anyway, although the Sleeping through the night miracle has not happened yet but there is definitely an improvement in her sleeping pattern that Mama and Papa is very much satisfied with. Of course, there is always a room for "sleeping through the night" to happen. BRAVO, Baby Chloe.

*sigh* Going back to work in two days time. I miss Baby Chloe already.
