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.

Great to know! Thanks!

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
