Her mum was not feeling well last night, and my wife appointed me as the nanny for the night, as she was worried her precious grand daughter might catch the virus. Usually my wife will take care of her if she is not working the next day or it happen to be her off day. Since I was not working now, the onus was on me to take care of Darissa for the night. It's been quite a while since I took care of a baby over night. The last time was like a decade or more when I took care of a friend's baby girl when ever the parent was on holidays.
Anyway taking care of Darissa was quite an experience for me.She tossed and turned for almost half an hour before she fell asleep. She had a cute habit, she need to hold someone's hand each time she sleep.
I was awaken a couple of time, every time her pacifer fell out. She will let out a cry, but not the type of cry when she is in pain . Even when she is hungry, she will be cry this way(without tears). It took me quite a while before I fell into slumberland only to be awaken again around 4.30am. She was wide awake, playing by herself and waiting for her milk. She needs no alarm as far as feedtime is concern, even if we lost track of the time, she will remind us of her feeding time ,but one thing bad about her is she is very impatient as far as her feeding time is concern. Even a few minutes late she will let go of her 'siren' and it will go louder if we don't get her milk on time. Now feeding her is much easier, as she was able to hold her bottle since a couple of months ago. Once she is finish, she will take out the bottle from her mouth. Ok I need to catch on my sleep as looks like I would be on duty tonight again.

Thanks Hayley,
DeleteEvery baby are different.Darissa dad was the easier to take care. He did not get up till morning, after his last feed around midnight , we just put the milk bottle while he was in the sarong and once he finish, he will threw out the milk bottle and when it hit the floor, we know he had finish. Those days didnt even bother to wash the bottle until next morning. lol.(have to work the next day ma)
Cute baby...
