Hi friends, My son is so sensitive that he wakes up as soon as I wakeup in he morning.he is just 9 months old. I tried changing the time but whenever I wake up he wakes up within a minute after me. Have you had the same experience? what you do when you are alone handling your child and you need to go out for toilet but at the same time you cant leave your child unattended because he/she may go around and touch something and get hurt.

My daughter is 7 months old now, and she doesn't sleep really well during the night, and daytime I have to always carry her when she's sleeping, otherwise she'll wake up easily when I put her down on the bed. I'm using a baby sling, and I am very used to carry her with me when I do almost everything, including going to the washroom. When I really need to put her down, I put her in the playpen, so she is safe inside the playpen, and won't get hurt, though she might be crying sometimes. Since she can sit straight now, I put her in the stroller or a highchair when I am cooking. Now, I can manage my time better, as she has more activities to do. I always try to find something for her to play with, so she can play by herself without needing me to carry her all the time.

Hi friend, Thanks for sharing.. its very difficult to carry them always sometimes if no others at home we get so tired and cant even take food in time and feed them.. I need to buy a stroller for him but i m scared if my maid makes him to be on stroller all the time when I am away so I m thinking about it.

Hi rashmi, so you are also in the same boat lol. good atleast you have one experience from your daughter. For me my son is first one. So for small small issues about his health I get tensed soon. And facing very difficult to handle him when my husband is away for work. I do have a maid to take care of him during my working hours but she usually drops in at 9.30 AM so till then it will be difficult for me.

I can understand how difficult it is to take care of a child. I really can't help you much on this, but i will tell you what my mother use to do for me. If she wanted to use the washroom, she use to tie me loose on the corner of bed she use tie only my leg, but very loose. And she could do her useful things, but she said that still she had to clean the area around where i was so that she is sure i would not do something harmful for myself. I know that is stupid and dangerous but she said it worked with me

Hi Archie, I dont think this will do with my son. He will try to get down from bed and or he will try to go forward and might hurt his head to wall or the edges of the cot. I am feeling so difficult whenever my husband leaves for work very early sometimes even before I wake up. If he is at home atleast till 8 AM then no worries for me.

I am a male.Now my son and daughter are no more kids.They are 18 and 12 years old respectively.When they were kids,I and my wife were living with my mother.They were not as sensitive as your kid.Sometimes they used to play till late night and get up late in the morning.When my wife had to take a shower,she woulf go to the bathroom and my mother used to keep my kids under her care.Now we are alone.My mother is no more,but now our kids are no more kids.

Hi friend, Thanks for sharing. But my case we do not stay with his or my parents. We live seperately. My in laws stay almost 300 KMs away from us and my parents stay 7 KMs away. So I cant depend on any one else other than my husband.

Its something they should learn from the start, it really pays to orient them on those things as early as little kids.It is natural to children to react just what you have witnessed. You are right, perhaps in my childhood years I have the same moments too. :)
