Babywye's sleep routine 16mth

Babywye had just emerged out of a growth spurt. She's coming to #16months in a few days.

The so-called "wonder week" was really terrible and stretched my patience beyond its maximum, I exploded. She rejected milk totally. Prior, she was having like 360ml a day; during the wonder week she only took 0-20ml. We were at our wits' end. She wouldn't reject the teat but wouldn't suck on it for a good 20 mins. I was so furious I vented my anger on my table, on the milk bottle etc. Thankfully I received some good advice and support from fb and learnt to 'let go' a litle bit.

After a week or so, babywye displayed the following noticeable changes in behaviour and growth:

- Understood more words and extended her vocab

- Could identify family members and recognise places (e.g. when we reach the exact spot at the void deck, she knew that's where ah gu walks a separate way, ye waves and says bye)

- Sleep pattern became more routine and predictable, yay!

- Began taking to milk again! :`)

Looks for minnie mouse for her naps

This has been her typical day for the past week plus:

10.30am - wakes up
11.00am - milk 120ml
12.30pm - porridge 1 bowl
1.30pm - 1st nap (30 min - 60 mins)
5.30pm - 2nd nap (usually 3 hrs from the time she wakes up from her first, for 30-60 mins)
7.00pm - porridge 1 bowl
10.45pm - night routine
11.30pm - 7++am - SLEEPS THROUGH! (occasionally needs a quick carry once or twice)
