My little cekodok Miki has always been a good baby. A couple of weeks ago he has picked up yelling after discovering that yelling can make people stare at Mummy and Daddy and so Mummy and Daddy will give him whatever he wants right there and then. Like a toy or even The Boob.
Prior to the discovery Miki has never been a wailing baby. Pretty good kid we got there. He sleeps at night and only gets up for feeding; never crying. Only sometimes he gets up at night and refuse to get back to sleep because he wants to play… This is fine with me, as long as there is no crying involved.
But there were a few times in his whole life of four months that really stressed us out.
First one happened for six night in a row when he would get up at around midnight and wouldn’t go back to slumberland till 7am. He didn’t cry much but wants to play and to be hold most of the time. Don’t get me wrong, I do love holding my baby but from 1 to 7? In the morning? For a whole week???
Come on Miki Colicky!!! You made me so stressed out I had been punching my own tummy to keep myself awake. I bet even all the worms in my guts got upset. I can’t keep on losing kilos ok? How if I keep on looking better and better in my skinny pants? Siapa yang susah? Bapak ko jugak yang susah? Ahaks!
Luckily Miki Colicky series happened for a week only.
Then comes the Twilight Zone series. Actually it happened when Miki was about 2 months plus old. He would go to sleep at around 9pm and woke up at around midnight; just when we were about to snooze. And he would be in distress, crying and unhappy. When we cajoled him to sleep, he would doze off for a few minutes only before jolted up from sleep, and cry. It seems like he couldn’t sleep even when he wanted too. We tried everything, from changing his diapers, to burping to rocking him in our arms for hours and nothing worked. We sing lullabies and recite Quranic verses to him but nothing can make him feel at ease.
But the moment the clock strikes FOUR IN THE MORNING, Miki would almost automatically go to sleep peacefully. The same pattern happened once, then twice then two nights in a row. Right on the dot. 4am. And he will be peaceful again. Freaky!
As much as it was troubling me for losing my beauty sleep; I was worrying if Miki was sickly. Furthermore, I hate it when a crisis happens and I can’t identify the reason.
So we cracked out brains, thinking and searching for something similar that happens during those days. Did he sleep too much during the day? Did he drank stale milk? What was the reason for such behaviour?
And then we realized something. During the nights that Miki was much disturbed, we went to Giant Bandar Kinrara for dinner. And of course we brought our son along. Okay, go ahead and call me superstitious and skinny but we believe that in this world there are creatures beyond what our eyes can see. And WHAT EVER THAT FOLLOWED US BACK from that building had surely made a hell of our lives by disturbing Miki.
We never went there for dinner again. And our son Miki is as happy as can be.
Uu..Uu..aku rase macam nak pakai jugak baju biru cimiki itu!! =P kepeh kepeh

Owh… orang tua kata jangan bawak budak techik-techik mcm Miki keluar malam. dia akan nampak sesuatu or sesuatu akan ikut dia and makes him susah nak tido and meragam.
but sometimes, how can we (busy parents) avoid to keluar malam for dinner when we don’t have enough time and too tired to cook.

oooooooooo……..spooky lah! i just went there yesterday and Thank God…i didn’t bring Ashley 0_0 Guess you will be avoiding this place for a loooooong time.
You..this happened to my daugther..memang cry baby everynite masa dia around miki’s age. Dah tak larat dah nak tukar pampers, nyanyi la etc etc..bila jumpa ustaz baru ok. So padan muka kita la kan sebab brought the kids out tengah2 malam. (me like u too when i had only 1 kid la!!) WHen she is older say 20 mos or so, kalau nangis aje, papa will simbah air sejuk kat muka dia to stop the endless crying. It seems to work. tapi for babies..i dont recommend this. kesian pulak nak bagi sejuk tengah2 malam. Kang penyakit lain pulak. dah toddler maybe boleh kot.
U know somehow, it’s true. Everytime we got back from kg. (n my husband’s kg. can be scary at nite u know) my baby will find it hard to sleep at nite.. So now we try not to go out at nite.. at least not to dark and u know remote places..
