Helen have you seen the fed
govt's site that advocates cc? It's bloody criminal! JB women have gone en masse
to the govt site to offer feedback and ratings for the cc crap so perhaps the
same thing should be done for the ACT site?
What a load of boring old
dangerous anti-bf crap!

Health first website
"Some babies sleep through by age six weeks. Other babies wake once or
twice a night until they are a year or more old. Having your sleep disturbed
can leave you feeling very tired. Try waking the baby for a feeding at your
bedtime if the baby has been asleep 2 to 3 hours. If your baby is waking
frequently, share the responsibility of attending to him with your partner.
Try not to feed the baby to sleep, as he needs to learn that his cot is for
sleeping and how to settle himself off to sleep. A dozing baby should be
placed into the cot. Do not get the baby used to being rocked or walked to
sleep. The last thing the baby should remember before going to sleep is the
cot or bassinet (not the breast, a bottle, or the mother's arms.)"
This is taken from a website fully funded by the ACT Government last
updated in 2002.
You would think that Govt funded websites would be a little more careful
with their advice, especially the last sentence! It is laughable/ridiculous
and never ceases to amaze me...I know this is one of many websites which
give similar advice but aren't Government websites required to give
balanced/eduated points of view and update their sites regularly?
