OMG! hack in and take it down!!! That's appalling!

OMG really??? Do they have a feedback function on that website? Coz I've got some feedback for them alright!

[Astrid]

I entered feedback when I first came across it. Absolutely horrified that a Govt website promotes such practices.

Deirdre, have you checked out our main site which has heaps of settling articles?

Oh and those who want to thrash the raising children network (trust me, lots of us have written in and complained but it's still there since 2006, serving the community - gotta love the government!):

What if my baby vomits?
Some babies tend to vomit more often than others and about one in five may vomit during controlled comforting. If this happens it can be upsetting for baby and parent. Try to calmly clean up any vomit from the bed and put a clean nappy wrap under your baby?s head. It's best to avoid making a big fuss, turning on lights, or completely changing the baby unless absolutely necessary. Otherwise, some babies can learn to vomit each time they are put into the cot.

This is a Royal Children's Hospital article, from Melbourne!

Raising Children Network | Controlled comforting

Complain at the link at the bottom of the article 'Feedback - tell us what you think of this article'

What I think isn't appropriate for the family timeslot It's a monstrosity

You can rate the article too. I suggest giving it one star so that other parents can see how poorly it's rated even if they won't pull it.

Yes, I have had an enjoyable read of the articles, thanks Kelly. I still can't get over the 'vomiting' part on Raising Children!!

This is a bit off topic but I studied history so I guess my first thought is always, "well, I wonder what people did 50, 100, 500 years ago?"

Strikes me that parents used to sing their children lullabies and now progress and so-called experts are saying that controlled crying is the go and don't worry about the vomiting. So much for progress!

If anyone knows of any 17th, 18th, 19th and early 20th century parenting books, I'd be really interested just to see what was advocated then. I'm guessing thought that this knowledge was passed down verbally from mother to daughter. I'm not saying they had all the answers by the way, I'm sure they had some pretty strange ways of doing things too - but just curious from a historical perspective.

I've rated that article & given feedback saying how ridiculous it is. Absurd really. I think that we should continue to let them know how old and outdated their information is on sleep issues.
