Hi All Has anyone heard of a book called "The Contented Baby"?I think it's from the UK & written by a nurse.One of my mums had it & apparently she has 5 friends who swear by it.Apparently its spreading like wild-fire through one of our Early Childhood centres.I started to read it.It appears to be all about getting the baby to sleep though the night from an early age & CONTROL!She gets them to express a few times a day ,so they have some milk for the last feed at night(although they can give formula-there's nothing wrong with it you know,otherwise the authorities would of banned it-like they have with smoking I guess!).They should give a bottle a day too.The expressed milk is also stored & used for growth spurts.Lots of other gems too.A must- read for you all(as long as you have no blood pressure problems.)I will read the whole book ,but I would love to hear from anyone who has read it or knows of it.Our jobs are hard enough ! Anne Australia ps thanks to all those who sent onfo on reading digests/subject lines-Barb,Winnie & Karen....& those darn numbers which I am still working on -------------------------------------------------------------------- mail2web - Check your email from the web at http://mail2web.com/ . *********************************************** To temporarily stop your subscription: set lactnet nomail To start it again: set lactnet mail (or digest) To unsubscribe: unsubscribe lactnet All commands go to [log in to unmask] The LACTNET mailing list is powered by L-Soft's renowned LISTSERV(R) list management software together with L-Soft's LSMTP(TM) mailer for lightning fast mail delivery.
