I was going to suggest some support from either Karitane or Tresillian - if you are BF'ing, you'll be given priority.
Thanks M2, good advice except I'm not prepared to do ANY CC/CiO - which seems to be what the "sleep schools" do??? We watched a Karitane video at Mothers group and I was crying watching other peoples babies scream.

My FDC mum seems really nice - he'll be on formula for the time he's away - but I'm ok with that - just hope he doesn't get to like it more than the boobie!
