I have just come back from a visit to our library and caught up on several days posts. The night waking issue caught my attention because at the library I had been looking through a book newly published here in Britain. It is about how to cure sleep problems in children. Apparently it is O.K to feed babies at night - either artificially or breast - for the first 6 months. After that they should sleep through. The author's remedy for breastfed babies who still wake after this age is for Mums to express milk and Dad to feed EBM with a bottle. The milk should gradually be diluted with water until only water is given. The baby is then weaned from that. According to the author we create sleep problems by continued night feeding. Nice to know it is all our fault isn't it? Carolyn Westcott -- Carolyn Westcott
