night seperation anxiety?

happy monday all..

its indeed a very gloomy one for me. was late AGAIN today! clocked in at 8.45am! dusshh! i got a bit carried away i guess since adam woke up uneasy in the middle of the nite. this has been happening few times apparently, and giving me another sleep-less nite. he has been doing good, following the normal sleeping pattern like other babies does once the pantang periods ended. which is soo much of a relieved! mommy gets back the sleeping beauty (of all time desire) , until very recent only i realized through trial and error that he is waking up just again.! it wasnt easy to get in the groove somehow.

so this morning i quickly log to babyCenter for a little research (since the boss is not in today *evil*) and here are the found-related says : Babies' sleep patterns can be affected by many things, including illness, vacations, changes in routine and advances in development. Many infants who were great sleepers as small babies start waking up again during the night between 6 and 10 months of age. Researchers aren't exactly sure why this happens, but many believe there may be some physiological or developmental cause.

my concerned is, he sometimes woke up and play for like an hour before returning to sleep, which is acceptable - i know he's well and fine. until last week where he started waking up and wailed his lung out! i jumped out of the bed in panicked - afraid if he falls of the bed -then it would be really hard. i checked on him, carried him out of the bed (he sleeps on his bed) and cuddle him close, soothe and calming, to which within an instance he fall back to sleep - soundly. why why why. question mark? he wanted to feel me close? or is it the separation anxiety creeping in? or developmental leap? i have no idea.

i gave it in - traced back the routine, where he gets his dinner at 7.30pm which is as persisted, diapers checked and pass, bedtime milk given, lullaby from mommy's un-reckon voice, forlong i don't seem the cue on why he kepts on waking up. however, the only thing that could be related to it, adam has been laughing out loud - yelling - and cooing at his best during the day, to everyone's shocked! he broke the silence in every manner he could! the little voice inside's saying its the monthly syndrome for babies, so i take the debut positively. little that i know it has now becoming mundane in his sleeping pattern.

and this is what i found on net, on how to handle night time seperation anxiety : Your baby's fear of being separated from you at night is very real for him, so you'll want to do your best to keep the hours preceding bedtime as nurturing and peaceful (and fun) as possible. In addition, spend some extra cuddle time with your baby before bed by reading, snuggling, and softly singing together. 

If your baby cries for you after you've put him to bed, it's fine to go to him — both to reassure him and to reassure yourself that he's okay. But make your visits "brief and boring," and he'll learn to fall back to sleep without a lot of help from you. Eventually, he'll be able to fall asleep on his own.

mommy will take measures on the tips above! to ensure my sleeping beauty back :) and u too sayang.

sweetie pie sayang, lets work this out together okay. no more prolong nite misseries for us. mommy will always be by your side to watch an eye on you at every seconds. Loves & Hugss!
