Advice that my friend received from a parenting helpline.....

[Shanti]

Yeah I know, it makes me so angry that they can dish out advice so easily like that....I was lucky that at that age DD was only having 1 (sometimes 2) feeds between that period after a dream feed, she was pretty good! But again, every baby is different! How on earth can they just 'generalise' advice like that to mothers.....it's so wrong.

What worries me is that my friend believes what they say!!! She is a wonderful Mum but wants her sleep back.....(don't we all!) but I told her it won't be forever.

I wonder why she doesn't trust the ABA advice? is it a case of her not wanting to hear certain advice?

Would she trust a good book?

Oh no. I hope that she has the strength to listen to her baby, her instincts and not that advice!
