I don't know if you're going to want to hear this or not but generally MCHN's aren't too pro-attachment parenting

We've had some pretty major sleep issues with DS since he was 4 months old - around 8 months it got pretty horrendous and I also got a private MCHN in (I think probably the same one as MelS's friend - she's quite well known up here). She was a lovely lady but her whole approach just wasn't something I couldn't work with. She basically told me I was the reason DS was waking up all the time (because I was breastfeeding him during the night which she said he didn't need), and that I needed to leave him in his room to scream. All night if that's what it took. She swore I would only need to do this a few days and he would learn to settle and that would be that.

Well I don't know if that's true because I couldn't do it.

Eventually we did work things out so that now Toby's sleep is manageable and fairly predictable but I took a good six months.

ETA feeding every 2-3 hours is very normal for a breastfed bub of only six weeks - it's exhausting, but normal

I often wonder why there are so many pro controlled crying people out there that do home visits but there's no one promoting gentle methods that do it?
