Her milk fix when it's too close to bedtime

Well, the kid needs her milk fix but it's too close to bedtime. You make the choice, give in to her, she downs 200ml of milk, and you get a high chance that she'd wet the bed. Or, do this... And you'll get a more peaceful sleep somehow.



You see, I have a no-milk-after-9pm rule simply because there is a high tendency of Lia wetting her bed (sometimes our bed!) when she drinks too close to bedtime. Even 80ml can sometimes be too much for her tender bladder so I do not wanna take the risk. And it is really difficult to wake the little girl to pee, she simply wouldn't budge. And when I do it by force, the situation turns ugly and everyone is being disturbed. But we have had to satisfy the kid somehow for when she craves for milk when she is sleepy, it'll definitely evolve to crankiness if the craving is not satisfied in time. And you wouldn't wanna rouse a sleepy kid, for all you want now is probably for her to rest for the night so you can proceed with your whatever chores. So, I came up with this brilliant idea. Hee, or at least I find it brilliant. I let Lia dip her finger into her milk powder, and she eats the milk powder that sticks on her finger, and that, satisfies her craving. Of course, dip the little finger in some plain water first so the powder sticks.

See, happy already lor. :D
