The Mother & Baby Unit is at St Helens Private Hospital in Macquarie Street. If you ring the hospital and ask to be put through to the M&B Unit they will put you through and you should be able to speak to someone. It is a private unit, so you need to have private health insurance to cover the costs otherwise it's very expensive.
I PM'd Becky a bit of information on what we do with Jacob - have you seen that yet? Perhaps setting in place some routine/ritual for sleep like we did might help Mayson? I know it's hard....I totally sympathise. But seriously, if you can be consistent and persistant then it really does help. It can be so hard to pick up the tired signs sometimes and like I said, we have spent 45 - 60 minutes in the room with Jacob rocking/patting etc to help him to sleep - but it has worked.
What is it that you currently do with Mayson? Do you have any kind of routine for sleep, e.g. any rituals that you go through, any sleep message etc? Have you thought about food intake etc etc? Jacob has never been one to eat much in one sitting, so we found introducing snacks for him really helped - so he has breakfast, lunch and dinner, as well as morning and afternoon tea - so 5 mini meals. At Mayson's age he was having 4 bottles too from memory. Do you think it's possible that Mayson is hungry?
