Go Jo!
you are absolutely right - from the stories I have from mothers it is exactly the lack of support,the pressureand the dearth of instruction manuals that sees mothers believing they must 'teach' their babies to sleep 'properly'.
Having had a very ill husband for the last 5 months I have once again realised how little actual support is available for all families and how difficult it is to access when one is 'in the middle' of a crisis - with demands on your energy and an unclear mind - as is a new mother/ family with a crying baby/raging hormones and lots of 'advice' but no actual practical help . These factors most certainly affect how we buckle under pressure even when it doesnt feel right -especially if this is the only "help" we are offered.
Please can I include your comments?
