Is it any wonder that all these children are
havng such a dreadful time sleeping - when we live in a world a "good"
baby is one who sleeps all night... and tucked far away in her own bed, in
another room .. (like it or not)... AND if she doesn't do that... make
her scream and sob her heart out... her spirit will eventually be
broken....she'll surrender and eventually sleep....
" a mother and a newborn have every right to be
together from birth on. This can make a significant contribution toward
producing a trusting individual capable of warm, close relationships. Both
Mother and Child have a need for reciprocal stimulation which should not be
interfered with. Yet the greatest interference of all is placed upon them.
Separation. The reasons for this separation are now being questioned."
(The Family Bed by Tine Thevenin)...
"A lot of people are so square as to think
they're entitled to a night's sleep. Nobody is entitled to a full nights
sleep, whether a parent or not, if someone needs her or him."
(also from the Family Bed)
kind regards,

This is interesting and makes me wonder if there
was any pattern in the sleeping arrangements of these children?? i.e.
co-sleeping, separate bedrooms etc....this seems to be often overlooked as a
variable in such studies.
