Who is the Actual Culprit....

Rakshitha, my 15 months old daughter has never been a problem in the day time. When the clock strucks 10 the nightmare begins. Who is the actual reason for this nightmare.....I dont know.

She was born on 7th feb, 2007. The day when my sleepless nights began. She was having her colic problem when she was 30 days old. By that time the nightmare starts even earlier by 6'0 clock itself. Then she recovered. Everybody said she will be alright by 6 months. That six months came and we were joining my husband in US. Coming here she slept very well for some 10 days. (Gets up only once or twice). It surprised me, but later learnt that it was due to her travel tiredness. Poor me.

Then she showed her actual power by getting up some 5-8 times at night. I became the most unlucky creature during nights. Soon a friend opened my eyes and suggested to change Rakshitha's dinner. It worked. But did not last long. Then another friend suggested to increase the quantity. It did work. But.........

Again she was getting up some 4-6 times. I was exhausted at night times. It would be really frustrating to see my husband having a great sleep near me. Atlast the culprit showed itself to me. It was BEDBUGS. Lots and lots on her bed. What a mother am I? I kissed my daughter a lot and begged her to apologise to me. Had the whole house treated twice. Hurray that too worked....But......

Again she is getting up 5-7 times at night. What can it be??????? Now I can say I am the most unlucky person. The Sleep God hates me.....But is the real culprit me or my daughter or bedbugs....I dont understand.
