Claire - Unfortunately I witnessed the same thing at a public hospital day stay when my DD was 5 weeks. Luckily it wasn't my DD but another couple (poor them). The 4-month old baby boy screamed for 4hrs before giving up out of pure exhaustion. The parents were young teenagers and honestly didn't know what to think but I can stab a guess that the 'routine' went out the window when they got home! It was sad to watch.

I recently had the priviledge of hearing Sheyne in person and she mentioned during her talk that she has submitted her work to the State Govt and they are assessing it for implementation/ roll out across the State in every Day Stay or longer-type facility. I thought this was excellent news!

So we can only hope that things might change...and in the meantime keep sharing our success stories with as many who want to listen :-)
