Day 32: Hannah was bawling last night again after feeds. Her diapers were OK, but the burping had been uneven \u2013 lots of small burps but nothing like the huge \u201cBUUUURRRPPPP\u201d we were keeping our fingers crossed for. Ling tried saya-ing her for quite a bit but Hannah wouldn\u2019t be pacified. Mum called just to see how things were just when Hannah was crying, and she remarked how loud Hannah sounded even from the phone!<\/p>\n
That was then I stumbled on a trick, and out of desperation \u2013 while carrying her I started singing to her. And wow \u2013 that worked very well! Hannah\u2019s eyes went wide-open, looked straight into mine, and seemed enraptured. I did whichever hymns I could think off, and when I was out of repertoire, did carols next.<\/p>\n
It took 30 minutes of humming and singing before Hannah was lulled into bed, at which point I\u2019d already exhausted all the songs I could think of, including repeats too.<\/p>\n
But it was a huge relief, and Hannah slept soundly for the next 4.5 hrs before waking up again at 3 am-ish for another feed.<\/p>\n
Now, if only the trick continues to be effective in the coming days. I sure hope she doesn\u2019t demand increasingly longer song recitals next time LOL.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
