Ethan is Acting Up
With so many people to carry him, Ethan is now developing a habit of crying whenever he awakes. Normally he does so only when he is hungry, but nowadays, he want to lull, pat and sleep over my shoulder. He only sleeps well when he sleeps with us, when he sleep alone, he tend to wake up every now and then. And then he starts to wail again...sigh!I'm trying to correct his habit, trying to put him back to his own crib, but couldn't manage to do so when I'm sleepy myself. I would just do anything to get him to sleep, which bring us back to the same problem all over again. A lot of advices were given, and most of them tell me to 'just let him cry'. But the problem is, if I do that, a lot of people (his grandma, grand aunt and the whole nine yards) will come into my room, and snatch him from my arms, and start to develop theories as to why he cries. Then stories about how he have gas in his tummy, or he's that he's scared and they'll provide all remedies and traditional medicine for him(esp his grand aunt cause she have experience being a nanny). I really hate it when they just stuff things in his mouth. I only believe in modern medicine and doctors. But what can I do? Modern and traditional ways of bringing up a child totally clash. The elders think they are doing the right thing because it's like that during their era. But science has already evolved and improved and they are not updated. Sigh...
