My dar gave me the nickname of 人肉摇篮 a.k.a the human sarong as I have been rocking Cepheus to sleep whenever I was carrying him. It seems like our dear son is addicted to my gentle rocking and will go to sleep easily everytime I rock him but will wake up after I put him down on his cot. Dar is sort of blaming me for cultivating this bad habit. Dar also mentioned that our son likes to look at me. I think Cepheus recognise me as he will follow me with his eyes and cry when I'm out of his sight.
My arms, back and legs are aching with all that rocking and carrying. I think we better buy Cepheus a sarong to sleep in so that he can sleep much longer, have a round head and hopefully help to prevent him from constantly sleeping on the right side of his head.

Hi, when carrying baby, tried not to rock them to sleep.
Instead, pat them to sleep and only rock them for a short while if they are unsettled.
Also, try not to walk around when patting them to sleep.
We should aim to sit down with armrest or something to support our arm.
Arms can get very sore after carrying them for a long time.
Best is to let them sleep soundly our our arm before putting them down to cot.
hi.. how come it seems like we have done all those that you have mentioned cannot do le.. hahaha... no wonder we are always so tired..
If my babies is unsettled when I carry them, I will hug them closer to my chest and slighty tighter to give them the secure feeling.
Then I will walk around for a few minute while patting them.
After they seems settled, I will sit on sofa to support my arm.
Meanwhile, I still continue to hug them tightly until they are pat to half sleep.
Then I will loosen the hug and let them sleep on my arm until soundly sleep while I continue to watch my TV.
After that, I will put them back to cot.
Above is just my experience. 8-)

I dun like the idea of using the sarong. Some kids are so used to sleeping in it that they cannot sleep elsewhere without it.
One of my frens even have to bring a mobile sarong when going out with his son.
There are pros and cons in using the sarong. One of the reason that we wanna use is when Siowping goes back to work, Mother will be taking care of Cepheus by herself. Having a sarong will give her more time to rest and perform other task like cooking. Of course we will try not to over do the sleeping in sarong part. Maybe only let him sleep when mother needs time do other task.
