Everyday I will bring Ryo to the playground downstairs to play, we'll meet many mothers or caregivers and exchange pointers. I realised our baby cultures differ a lot, and apparently the majority of their babies are so easy to care for.
One biggest difference is their babies can sleep through the night without feeding since a few months old. That means the mothers can get to sleep throughout as well. Sob sob sob. Ryo still wakes up for 3 feedings and needs to pat him back to sleep, sometimes up to half an hour!!! I haven have a good night sleep since he was born.
Below is a few of the difference I have discovered so far.
Tianjin | Spore | |
Milk | Stops drinking milk from 2 years, all solids | Continues drinking milk until the child himself refuse |
Food | Eats dumplings, soft rice, noodles, steam egg even at few mths | Cereal or porridge from 6 months, eats larger harder food at later age |
Crawl | Only crawls on bed | Crawls all over the place |
Sleep | No sarong, pillow nor pacifier. Able to sleep by himself and thru the night. | Some sleep in sarong with pillow and pacifier. |
Sun | Sunbathe everyday for vit D to aid calcium absorption | Sun? wat sun? |
We may be rich, we can provide better for our babies, but wat went wrong? How come their babies are so easy to care for? Do you have answers?
