It’s been a dreadful past one week. A little bit better than the first few days I started to wean baby Clarisse from breastfeeding, but still I’m having a tough time making her sleep.

It’s 9pm now. Baby Clarisse hit the sack at 8pm sharp. She started to cry incessantly after 5 minutes, roll all over the bed and just refused to sleep. It took more than 45 minutes of crying and struggling until she’s too exhausted to do anything but to close her eyes and sleep. If I were to give nurse her, it would probably take no more than 15 minutes for her to doze off completely.

I’m expecting her to cry for a feeding at around 3am. It’s been that pattern for the past few weeks. Baby Clarisse is very reluctant to drink her milk. I’ve changed from Novolac (due to previous bout of constipation) to EnfaGrow formula and she seems to like the latter more but still very fussy drinking her milk. It takes more than 45 minutes to drink her bottle of milk which drives me nuts during the wee hours of dawn. Plus I’m suffering from a sorethroat for a few days now.

Time to down some antibiotic pills now. Then I’ll hit the sack immediately before another round of feeding session at 3am.
