Sleeping no more..

What would you do when you laid yourself on bed, ready for a good night's rest, only to be woken up by incessant baby cries?! It's cool, coz you ain't even asleep yet.. just soothe the disturbed baby quickly and you can get your sleep in no time.

What would you do again when you finally managed to catch some shut-eye, but the baby's still wailing? You drag yourself up to pick up the baby, and try to rock her back to her dreamland as quickly as possible.

What would you do this time when this little creature starts to bawl inconsolably in high-pitch cries, and gonna wake the whole neighbourhood up at 5am in the morning? You are rather pissed now, and stomp over to the baby cot and demand an explanation for all that noise! Ha, of course not.. but you are genuinely fed up, as it is almost dawn and you haven't even slept! You ask yourself, how long more is this going on?!! The answer - all the way until the baby gives up sobbing due to over-exhaustion..

I say, maybe the poor adult will die of exhaustion first even before the baby does; and this can very jolly happen to me soon..

Rianne has been cranky and crying her guts out everyday since the start of this week. She was basically screaming, as there were no tears; and struggling so much! It seem like she's in much discomfort, but her diaper has been changed and she wasn't hungry too. Only one thing will come to our mind in such a scenerio, apply the 'RU-YI' oil onto her stommie. I did! Well, I had deduced that Rianne's problem could be there are too much gases stuck in her little stomach, and that, is causing her to be so uncomfortable.

One suspicion that is hovering over me now, is COLIC. The symptoms of COLIC fit exactly what Rianne is going through, except the crying pattern. It is said that babies with COLIC problem will cry for more than 3 hours at the same time daily, and this would go on for at least 3 days a week. Rianne hasn't been noisy at the same time the past few days, but it does go on for hours. I'm thinking to bring her to the doctor to assess whether she is really having COLIC. Oh, poor Rianne.. but even poorer, Mama R. =(
