Sleep schools in Adelaide
I'm asking for a work colleague who has a 6mth old (or there abouts, not 100% sure about the exact age). Her child doesn't sleep well at all from what she says around the staffroom table. Child wakes approximately every hour o/night, if not already awake. Night times are roughly wake, feed, stay awake for hour (crying/screaming) feed and then sleep for an hour or so. They co-sleep and play musical sleep locations - lounge chair/bed/etc during the night. Her DF is supportive and helpful but it sounds like they're getting to the end of their tether together. They also have a 2 1/2 yr old who doesn't seem to have the sleep issues. Apparently the 2nd child (can't remember if it's a boy or girl:redface: ) is like this all day as well (in the not much sleep). Controlled crying won't work for her as child is happy to cry/scream at night. Apparently child has been like this for quite some time.
She says they've tried pretty much everything and now are thinking there might actually be something wrong with child and are also thinking about sleep school being a possibility. They're working in survival mode atm.
Does anyone know anything about the sleep school options in Adelaide (South Aust.) and what they're like. I'd like to offer her some helpful info for her. I can see she's getting quite stressed about it (she only works 3days a week). I think she's going to see her GP about getting her child checked out.
(I have also mentioned the option of amber beads in case it's teething related)
