Thanks ladies,

Got in this morning and colleague had a break through last night, she wrapped her DD (checked what gender her child was) and put her down and DD cried for about 5 min then went off to sleep for 6 hours (was in slight shock about it), DD was up every hour after that but the solid block of sleep was impressive for her DD. Now she's just hoping it happens again tonight.

(We did toss around the idea of brandy on the dummy to try and get her to sleep yesterday - jokingly of course) Hopefully all goes well and her DD sleeps nicely for her parents for some time now (will update after Thursday as that's her next work day after today)
