My Life After Back to Work
24hours a day don't seem to be enough for me eversince back at work.
The daily schedule now is like:
6.45am - wake up, wash/sterilise milk bottles, put laundry to wash in the washing machine, bathe, change, hang the clothes
8am - leave the house for work
9am - 6.30pm - office working (fighting wars, shunning arrows...)
7.30pm - reach home, bathe, dinner, play with Garreth, pat him and sing lullaby to him till he sleeps
9pm -soak dirty clothes for wash the next day (esp Garreth's!), sterilise milk bottles, allocate his milk powder in the container for mum's use the next day, watch abit of TV programmes
11pm - SLEEP!
It's fortunate that I do not need to do "night duty" during weekdays as mum said it's gonna be tedious on me. Been cracking brain on ways to train Baby Garreth to sleep through the night without having to wake up for milk but it's either timing not right or doesn't have the chance to do so. Mum is very soft-hearted, she will immediately jump up to make milk for Garreth once he makes a little noise...and perhaps that's why he has cultivated the habit of still waking up for milk in the middle of the night cos' he knows that he will get milk if he makes some noise. Did tell mum to ignore his calls, but she claimed that he will cry and scream if he's not fed and that will in turn wake us all up. Sigh..see lah.
Have also tried to give him dream feed at 10.30pm or 11pm after his last feed at 7.30pm or 8pm, but still, he will wake up at 3am for another feed. This boy ah...really naughty leh, his fren born on the same day as him is already sleeping through from 7.30pm to 6.30am! How ah..like that?? Since mum's going home tonight, I will probably be trying the method the forum gals have been teaching me since I'm on "night duty" alone. Hopefully he reacts positively to it and mum can save the hassle of waking up to feed him at 3am.
If only I can take care of him single-handedly...then I can easily create a routine for him since he's now 3 months old.
Tomorrow Daddy Goh will be working full day, so that's left me and Baby Goh...probably will bring him for a walk nearby (maybe the NTUC near our place??) since I have already bought the baby carrier?! Feel like a lousy mum...cos' from birth till now, I have yet to bring him out alone...haha...it's always with Daddy, else we are confined at home together. See how lah!
