I am working with a mother of an 18 month old baby boy. He has nursed to sleep for every nap and every night since birth. He is still waking 6-8 times a night to BF. The mother is distressed. The father has moved to the guest bedroom. The mother refuses to let him cry to sleep, the father is frustrated and pushing for her to do so. Baby has a regular bedtime routine and is always asleep by 7:30 PM. His napping is consistent. When he wakes it's for a 5-10 minute feed and quickly back to sleep. I've tried every idea I can think of for the past 30 days, but there has been NO improvement. I would appreciate any ideas you can pass along. Some of the things she has tried: Baby in sidecar / in her bed / in crib -- no change Remove baby from nipple before asleep -- SCREAMS Tried rocking instead of BF -- SCREAMS Tried father rocking/walking -- SCREAMS Tried soothing music -- no effect Make sure he's not too warm/too cold/wet, etc. Any ideas would be most appreciated! *********************************************** 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.
