Misha: 23 weeks

Eating
I seem to always worry that she will start to comfort nurse to sleep.....based on my experience with Meera but I'm starting to realise that might never be a problem with her. If she feeds then she is hungry. Although I notice that she likes to nurse just before her nap and it usually makes it easier to put her down. But she will always stop nursing before I put her down.
I had to take her to the Klinik Kesihatan for her immunisation this week and it took quite a while so she missed out on her morning nap. By the time we got home it was 3 hours past her last sleep so she was definitely tired. She also hadn't fed well in earlier. So when we got home and she was all fussy I figured I'd feed her first then put her to bed...but she kept refusing. So I guess feeding to sleep isn't really required unless she is genuinely hungry.
Having said that, I'm still trying to figure out how to get her to sleep thru the night. I mean she generally has an 8 hours stretch at night but I'm hoping for the 12 hour kind. Cos now she eats at 8 then wakes up around 5 to feed and continue sleeping. I am hoping she will get to a point where her last feed will last her till the next morning. I am starting to think that's not gonna happen until we start solids. Seems like it's quite normal for babies to wake up in the night (different from my experience with Meera)
I have been trying to give her a bottle around 10pm but it doesn't seem to make a difference.

Sleeping
Naps are starting to get longer. I realise if she has a rough transition, I can get her to extend the nap by patting her back to sleep. Not sure if this is a good idea....but for now whatever works. There are naps that she does transition on her own but mostly I have to pat her back to sleep and she will have a 1.5-2 hour nap. She usually takes 1 short nap followed by 2 long ones. Totalling around 3-4 hours.


Milestones
Finally saw her roll from tummy to back on the mat. (Previously she only did it on soft surfaces...and not consistently). But now she is getting much better. When I put her on the mat and she's on her tummy she can now turn over herself...most of the time. Recently when she's in the car seat she'll try to lift herself up. Looks like she's trying to sit. Meera actually noticed it first and pointed it out to me.
I also notice that when she's lying on her back she tends to bang her hand down on the surface repeatedly... not sure why she does this.
She's also trying to grab things more often. Especially the rattle on her rocker.
