Hi,
If you are interested in Elizabeth Pantley's No Cry Sleep Solution, you can
hear her speak at ABA seminars in Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, Perth and
Adelaide from March 2nd-7th 2006. It's going to be fabulous - heaps of
other great speakers, too. I'd love to be able to direct you to the website
so you can register straight away......but I can't. It's not finished yet.
The brochures will be out soon, so I'll keep you informed. For ABA
subscribers and LRC subscribers, you will get information in Essence and
Breastfeeding Review. The seminars are open to all midwives, mothers,
health professionals of all types, esp those with a passion for
breastfeeding.

Thanks so much to everyone who replied with advice and well wishes.
Just thought I'd write a short update on our progress. I have 3 days left
of my non-dairy diet ... I haven't really noticed a change in Will's skin,
or daytime naps, but the nights have been a little better the last 2 or 3.
I have read "The No-Cry Sleep Solution" and began implementing strategies
on Friday. I logged our wakings Thursday night, and they equalled 13...
11 of which I had to actually do something about.
The strategy basically involves removing the suck-to-sleep association
ever so slowly, so that they get used to not having to suck to sleep, and
therefore don't expect to still be sucking on anything when they slightly
rouse in the light sleep phase. I have been waiting until he is almost
asleep and removing the dummy, so the last thing he remembers before going
to sleep is not having anything in his mouth.
It has been working for night sleeps - he goes from about 10:30/11:00pm
till 3. HEAVEN! He then joins us in our bed, where we sleep fairly well,
on and off the breast, until about 7am. He feeds till almost asleep, then
pulls off himself and turns his head away.
Daytime naps need work, but I need to be patient :)
So, things are looking up, and there is no CIO or any other horrible mean
or nasty strategies. As Pinky says, Gently With Love.
Thanks again people!
Love Jo
