i think ice tea and ice cream is fine.. think avoid coffee and coke cos got caffine..thanks alot for the answers! been craving for a cup of ice tea and ice cream :001_302:
by the way, is any of your babies scared of the dark? mine is 3 weeks old and he seems to be scared of the dark. doesn't want to sleep in my room in the daytime (cause our room is abit dark), but when we put him in the living room or other rooms where it's brighter, he falls asleep very fast. and at night he keeps crying when i switch off the lights (we do have a night light on though), but once i switch on the lights, he stops crying. so my husband will carry him and walk around in the living room until he falls asleep then bring him back into the room to sleep. is there any way to solve this? we can't possibly do this every night. and i really want him to differentiate between day and night.
he can be left alone for a longer time when the light is on. but when the light is off, he just keeps crying even after i tried rocking him in his cot, give him pacifer or carry him. what my husband does normally is to carry him and walk around in the living room until he sleeps, so that i can take a quick nap before the next feed.i think ice tea and ice cream is fine.. think avoid coffee and coke cos got caffine..
hmmm i thought they cant see clearly yet only shadows? not very sure about baby scare of darkness cos i thought they still dont know how to differentiate day and nite tats why alot of babies owls.. my pediatrician used to tell me during day time draw the curtain and expose him to lights and sound to tell him its day time and when nite time talk quietly and off the lights, why not you continue use the night light... does he still need to be carried if on the light at night?
oh then why not just leave the night light on till daylight? let him be independent slp on his own rather carry till zzzz... otherwise u all will have a hard time every night leh...he can be left alone for a longer time when the light is on. but when the light is off, he just keeps crying even after i tried rocking him in his cot, give him pacifer or carry him. what my husband does normally is to carry him and walk around in the living room until he sleeps, so that i can take a quick nap before the next feed.
we leave the night light on till daylight, but he still cries. i try not to carry him so often. but my husband always carry him when he cries.oh then why not just leave the night light on till daylight? let him be independent sleep on his own rather carry till zzzz... otherwise you all will have a hard time every night ...
thanks alot for the suggestions.
but now the problem is that i'm trying to get him to get used to sleeping in the dark, even in the day. but my husband's grandmother (we're staying with his grandparents) keeps carrying him over to a brighter room to sleep in the day. i told her that he doesn't want to sleep in dark and i'm trying to get him to get used to it. but she keeps insisting that he doesn't want to sleep in the dark and he will only sleep if it's bright. and then she told me to just leave the lights on until he sleeps then off it at night. it's easy for her to say that, she's not the one who can't sleep at night cause baby doesn't want to sleep in the dark. it is so freaking irritating!!!
