I went about 6 months ago but it wasn't for little bubs, it was a night info session on the transition to a big bed for toddlers. Whilst they didn't say 'just leave them to cry', I really felt the lady was alluding to it but just wouldn't come right out and say it iykwim?
They did give strategies that weren't CIO, but I sat there thinking that if we were there about babies they probably would. Sorry I know that's not much help, but it was just the feeling I had. I do realise I could be completely incorrect though.
What I have heard is the waiting lists can be quite long to get a day or night stay, so maybe put your name down on the list and see what you can find out in the meantime and then you could always cancel if it doesn't sit right with you.
I guess it wasn't really 'recently' but went with dd2 when she was around 4 or 5 months old, I don't remember them saying anything about cio but maybe coz she went straight to sleep and you can hear and watch what bubbys doing. We were there for feeding concerns bot sleep issues though so dunno? I also didn't have a very long wait for my day stay I think about a week or so??
Thanks lovelies. I rang today and spoke to someone on their help line. Someone will now call me next week to book us in for a day stay - probably within a couple of weeks. I must say, the impression I got when I described what was going on was much like you said human bean - she desperately wanted to tell me to just let her cry herself to sleep. Anyway, given its a couple of weeks or so off that will have given the losec time to work and hopefully that's going to solve the problem anyway ;-)
I don't have personal experience, but from what I"ve heard second hand is that it seems to vary a bit, at least partly depending on what you tell them you want. i read somewhere recently that they were including advice on comforting to sleep, as well as cio-type stuff.
Hope she's feeling more comfortable soon
