Self Soothing and Baby Sleep
I’ve been reading some mom’s magazines and stumbled on an article on self soothing. I had to smile and remember how AJ does it, only I never knew that there was such a term as self soothing.
When we go to parties and he feels so sleepy, I noticed that he pats his legs more often than when we’re at home. At home, he scratches his tummy when he wants to sleep but can’t because there’s a Karaoke party next door and people were carefreely blasting other neighbors away with songs like “My Way”.
It is by no means involuntary. I think babies find ways to calm themselves, and these movements or gestures are weirdly similar to how his mom does it. I would pat him on the leg most of the time when he’s sleepy but can’t sleep and I’m beside him coaxing him to just close his eyes.

Thought for the Day
I’ve used diet pills in the past ’til it drains my diet budget. It did encourage me not to eat sweets anymore because I couldn’t afford both!
