Blurblur,
We’re definitely over it. She has been sleeping well the last few days and I was still blogging away (never learnt my lesson huh?)

Sesame,
Wow, you really stick close by your son. 😛
I don’t normally get my maid to watch over Zara too in the night for the same reason as yours, but just that particular night, since she was sleeping in the adjoining room (in our house, she sleeps downstairs while we take the upstairs room) I just told her to watch out for her cry.
Anyway, baby monitor is probably the best option now.

Allyfeel,
Yes, Baby monitor is still the best. You can go to them the minute they ‘shout’ for you.

Sabrina,
The episode has ended, and the conclusion is to use a baby monitor. Maids sleep like log, so I heard, since they have a tiring day.
Btw, you don’t have your blog up yet?

Pity little Zara. I am sure she must be so frightened.Crying for so long and yet mummy never appear.Ur maid should have stayed in the room with Zara till u come up. That’s much more safer.

Poor girl, probably scared in new place without mommy.

I feel bad also when bb started crying out loud when I watched vcd or movie down stairs. By the time I attended to him, he’s already sobbing non stop.

I think baby monitor is still a good idea, at least when she first cry, u already notice. Can attend to her immediately.

Hi…I can sense your anguish as well as heartache. As mummies, we tend to blame ourselves whenever something happen to our li’ one. I can only say…always be safe and keep a watchful eye. But I think Zara was probably scared and did not fall off.

The baby monitor is okay…but then it would be too late to dash up when we hear the cries. My son sleeps with me on our bed, so I basically sleep with him and stay with him throughout the night. If I have work to do, or I want to blog, I do it beside the bed. No choice.

I don’t let my maid take care of my boy in the night because I want her to have sufficient rest so that she can care for him well in the day.

I hope both you and Zara have gotten over this incident already!:)

Most probably she’s just crying out of fear as she did not see you when she awakes in an unfamiliar room! At the grand old age of 3yr2mth, Damien still cries when he wakes up from his nap at my MIL’s room and i’m not there! :p

Sue,
Thats a good way to child proof the house.. sleep downstairs. haha.

Jasmine,
Yeah, she’s alright. I think it was from fear that she cried.

Helen,
Lots of people told me to play some music next to her when she’s asleep.. Maybe I really should try it out.
Well, the guilt was just for a while.. See, today, I’m blog surfing again, leaving her in the same condition. *bad mummy*

Twins,
How do they know there’s monster huh? I hope Zara will never be afraid of monster since I’d not told her monster is frigtening. But maybe after she watched Monster Inc, she’ll know there’s monster to watch out for.

KY,
In our own house, we normally put on a night light for her. In King’s wife’s plc, no night lamp but there’s some light shining in from the window.
Anyway, I think she must have shouted for me, and since I didn’t go to her as quickly as I normally do, she got panicked and cried.

lb,
Aigh, wasted my bambi eyes.. *roll eyes*

Probably due to being in a room that she is not used to, plus darkness and dearest mommy not there. Try leaving a small light on, if you don’t have the monitor with you. At least, if she wakes up and find herself in a strange place, she won’t get too panick or frighten due to darkness.

Maids usually will sleep like a log lah. Mine ah, thurder storm until whole hse flooded also cannot wake up!

Prolly had a nightmare. yeah i remember whe i left denisha upstairs alone without the baby monitor, she’ll be like that too sometimes and I will ask her .. what’s wrong? She will say scared .. scared monsters. and I’ll tell her don’t be scared mommy’s here .. mommy will beat monsters. And she’ll lean on my chest while I soothe her back to sleep.
