Life has not been easy all these while coping with baby alone at home. He is a light sleeper and drinks frequently once every hour! I never know young infant can drink that much and so frequent and this has made my days during maternity leave a nightmare. Not sure how long I can endure but as days goes by I seem to be able to cope better with sleepless nights and carrying him around throughout the days.
Trying very hard to kick his bad habit especially cradling and it seems to work a little. Try not to carry him immediately when he cries or turn cranky. Leave him crying for awhile before carrying him to calm him down and put him back to sleep again. Try to drag as long as possible before carrying him and hopefully he will forget about it. At least when its time to sleep at night, he is able to fall asleep by himself with a swaddler wrapped around him and with the lights dimmed. This is some routine I have established and it works!
