Duyan

Fifi is growing fast. She is so big and heavy now that a couple of minutes of holding her is like carrying a ton of bricks. And she has a certain kind of personality that would drive you crazy if she is sleepy. She hates having to go to sleep that when she feels sleepy, she would cry and cry until she dozes off. Plus, she is not a heavy sleeper. Any little noise would wake her up, and then she would throw tantrums like it's nobodys business...

So being a second-time mom, I kinda know what I should do. I remember back home that most babies are in their hammock or duyan as we would call it back home and they always sleep good and they always sleep longer than usual, so I made my own version of duyan here in our house.

My husband was open to the idea and he gladly helped me set up our duyan. We were like kids playing house when we did it and he is so protective of fifi that he made sure everything is in standard when it comes to safety.

At first, fifi is hesitant to get inside the home-made hammock but after she got the feel of it she is loving it. Now, my little baby girl s napping in her duyan and true snough, she sleeps better and thus, I breath better too.
