As I have blogged recently, Lil Shauna wakes up for 2 night feeds. I have also switched from breast to bottle feeding during the nights to increase efficiency. Ever since I have switched to bottle feeding, Daddy Lim had been sleeping through the nights with minimal disturbance. But the record was broken last night...
Usually, I will try to wake up a little earlier than Lil Shauna to warm up her milk. After feeding her, I will put her back to bed before expressing my milk and clear up the stuff.
Last night, Lil Shauna woke up for her 1st feed at 11+pm and she fell asleep promptly after that. I aimed to wake up a little earlier for the 2nd feed but failed. I was awoken by her cries at 3+am and I noe that it means trouble. She was crying badly when I tried to warm up her milk. After feeding her, she stared at me and refused to go back to sleep, as if punishing me for delaying her feed. ;p I tried to coax her for the next 30 mins but failed miserably. That is when my patience wears out and I woke Daddy Lim to get him to take over (poor Daddy Lim) while I proceed to express my milk and clear up the stuff. Daddy Lim tried for another 30 mins but Lil Shauna still refused to go back to sleep. I took over from him at 4.45am and continue to coax her for the next 30 mins. She finally fell asleep at 5.15am but wakes up at 5.45am. -.o" Then she finally fell into a deep slumber at 6.20am when we are supposed to go to popo's place. Haiz..
I hope this is only a one-off incident. Sob.. So torturing. Luckily my mum and SIL helped this morning to look after Lil Shauna while I catch an hour of nap. Else, I will be a walking zombie again. Lol!

Hi Zuen
Whenever I read ur blog, I see a mirror of myself n my girl. U know what, I think if the both of them know each other, they might grow up to be the best of frens (cos they share the same temperant).
Anyway, push on. I am still trying my best to cope with her at night and still retain my sanity.
