My Dollie Baby

Milestone: Falling Asleep on her Own + New Sleeping Position
Date: 30 August 2007 - Thursday
Racia is 5 Months and 3 weeks old 6 days old today

1) Falling Asleep on her Own:

For the past 3 nights, Racia has been able to fall asleep all by herself without any patting, rocking or carrying.

Mummy used to have to carry, pat and rock Racia lightly to make her fall asleep before placing Racia on her bed almost every night. It is only on a few occasion that Racia can fall alseep without any rocking.

However, the past 3 nights (in a row), Racia was able to fall asleep on her own when mummy place her on the bed after her nightly cleaning/changing routine.

Once on the bed, Racia will talk and toss around for about 10 mins before getting into her new favourite sleeping position and will fall alseep soon after that.

Mummy is really pleased and she thinks that Racia is now a big girl who can fall asleep on her own.

2) New Sleeping Position:

For the past few nights, mummy found that Racia has a new favourite sleeping position - That is to sleep lying on her right side.

With stronger neck and back muscles, Racia can really toss and turn when she sleeps each night. However, she will always choose to settle and sleep lying on her right side.
