Liz, I know that Child & Youth Health have a day-stay service at some of their clinic locations (I think one of them is Marion too). Mums & bubs can head down for a full day of support with routines, settling techniques etc I believe. I've not used it, and it may not be everyone's cup of tea in relation to the methods they try but she might benefit from seeing her local CYH nurse and getting a referral?
