Seventh and Eight month

This was great difficult phase of my life. I thought babies are so easy to handle why people make big fuss of it until I was left alone to handle my cutie pie. I realized my mistakes then. I dint make akki to follow a sleeping or eating schedule until mum was with me. During these days he used wake up in midlle of nite, drink his milk and wanted to play, I used to play along with him as I had a leverage to sleep during the day time. I never used to rock him sleep or forced him to sleep. I let him sleep whenever he wanted to... whatever time it may be. Due to this leverage he developed a weird schedule, he used sleep during day and used to wake at 3 am.

I realized that this was a HUGE MISTAKE only when my mum left to mumbai. I had a small baby to take care of and had to cook for my hubby (I had a maid for other household chores). These 2 things became very hectic to handle. I dint have enough sleep. It was driving me crazy. That was the time I started blogging. I started reading a lot about baby sleep and eating schedule..then I realized not just WHAT but WHEN is also important part of parenting.

I posted many questions in parenting blogs. Out of which what impressed was one sentence from 'YAhoo Answers'. It said "You are letting your baby control his own schedule...correct that, every thing wil b alrite". I thought the answerer was rude when i saw it the first time. But the statement was ringing in my mind and I started to 'correct that', Believe me it was tough but I succeeded by end of the eight month. I prepared his sleeping and eating schedule and almost made him follow that.
