The 3rd night everything ran smoothly, when she was feeling kinda tired I would play music video where she will listen till she falls asleep on my arms.
Its been a week now Noreen is fully weaned, she feels cranky and insecure, she would stick very closely to lita. Even when we go shopping she would demand lita to carry her.
This 2 nights she would play on the bed till she falls asleep, no more music video hahaha. She wakes up about 2 times but can dozed off without much help, all on her own.

Times Square
Lita Noreen at Times Square LG Christmas Garden
Noreen having a blast
Cranky moments
Weaning
We decide its time for Noreen to be weaned, we started on the 18th Nov, took us a lot of courage to take this route, with nen nen she still can wake up at least 3 times a night, imagine without nen nen how are we gonna pacify her???.
We decide to take her out the whole afternoon to play, hopefully it'll make her so exhausted that she would sleep better. We were also told to put ginger and chilli on Lita's nipple to make it taste yucky for her.
The ginger thing work, Noreen didnt like the taste, but she goes a bit cranky, we had to distract her with other things.
The first night, I will play music video for her, she would watch till she falls asleep on my lap, then about 2 hours later she woke up, luckily she was really exhausted from playing the whole day at times square, she was crawling all over the bed looking for Lita, but about a minute later she would just sleep off without us doing anything, 2 hours later again the same routine, then horror start around 4 - 5 am, she woke up good this time and cry so loud that it shake the building. We tried to pacify her, carry her, sing to her, play music and nothing works, she was crying and choking on her saliva, its really scarry, I think this is the first time I've seen Noreen cry so badly.
In the end we decide to be extra cruel, we off all the lights and just pretend to sleep, leaving the poor girl to cry and cry and cry until she was so tired that she doze off. Our heart was really broken. But then we;re happy this is the first full day she had no nen nen.
2nd day: same routine took noreen to times square, find an empty spot and just let her run wild till she falls asleep. Night time, I would play MTV till she doze off, then sure enuf her usual routine she wakes up about 2 hours later, this time we notice its easier for her to sleep if we put her in the prone position and pat on her back to pacify her, it works like a charm, she was back to sleep in a minute. She woke up a total of 3 times, accurate like a clock, but this 3 times we were able to pacify her without any issue.
Today is the 3rd day Noreen is without nen nen, tonight we're not sure what she has install for us, but today she really play hard, so will update soon.
She is much more cranky than usual, cant blame her, nen nen withdrawal syndrome.
