Can some of you tell me what you say to moms who have older babies (say 9
months and up) and who are terribly frustrated by the baby's inability to
sleep?  By this I mean mom nurses baby, puts baby down, and baby wakes up
immediately screaming for mommy. These babies cannot seem to rest unless
suckling at the breast (or so mom says). As soon as they are put to bed, the
slightest noise or movement awakes them and they cannot be quieted unless
nursed again.

I have never had a good answer for these moms.  I basically tell them, "this
too shall pass". I had a son like this, so I know it's hard on the mom. I also
direct them to LLL for support.  I don't believe in EZZO, so I need something
else to offer these mothers.

Please help me with a good suggestion for these moms.

Thanks,
Brenda Phipps
