Rachelle decided to try going diaper free last night and i must say it was really successful. She didn't pee in her bed. I constantly reminded her that she is off diaper and she will have to wake me up to bring her to the potty should she feel an urge to pee.
Before her bedtime, i kept reminding her and i guess that really works. Just after midnight she woke me up to say she need to pee and i helped her to the potty. Then she woke up around 4ish for a feed and she slept all the way till 8am. All this time she has managed to stay dry. I am really proud of her. Besides that, except for a vomiting episode around midnight, she didn't really whine during the night. My prayers must have been answered. I finally got a much needed restful sleep last night.
I hope she continues to perform well tonight. Fingers and toes crossed. : )

Sleepless Nights
Nights has become so torturous recently. I dreaded going to bed once again. The last time i felt this way was when Rachelle was about 2-3 months old. Rachelle has all along been a bad sleeper but the past night on 20/2/12, it was one of the worst to date.
It didn't help that she has the cough bug at the same time. I hate her having a cough as she tends to throw up after coughing especially after her meals or milk feed. Since young, she has the tendency to throw up after a crying episode or after coughing. She got so whiny at night and cries so readily. Her crying and constant whining were driving me up the wall and i couldn't sleep at all as i was practically up by her side every hour tending to her every complaints. If i were to ignore her, she will cry even louder and as a result of that i will have to change her clothes or bedsheets as she is sure to vomit. Recently her eczema is also flaring up. She wakes up complaining of itchiness and was scratching all over. The skin on her neck, elbows and behind the knees were extremely dry and patchy. I am asking friends for recommendations to a good dermatologist for children.
I really pray hard that Rachelle will outgrow this whiny stage esp during the night so all of us in the family including herself can have a good night rest. Lack of sleep is definitely not good for all of us. She gets very emotional with lack of rest. Pray hard for me, my friends.
