I nearly forgot and only got the last couple of minutes where you were talking about how babies might actually have something wrong when they cry. Came across well Pinky. Well done. If you have converted only one or two people you have still done a good and positive job.

Cheers

Tizzie bailed out at teh last minute apparently so they went ahead with a discussion on sleep - played pics of screaming babies in cots with parents standing by. As they were doing this TRacy came into my ear plug (Being in Melb studio I was in a large empty room with equipment/ Bright lights in my eyes and one technician)  She said we are going to go straight to how to make babies sleep -I mentioned something about parents feeling very confused and worried about spoiling babies - she said -= or neglecting them (which I took to mean she thopught letting bubs cry was ok) then the segment was on.

 

My 15 tips were across the screen during the interview - I had sent these earlier in hope that there could be an opportunity for a facts sheet on their website - they were going to impose mine and Tizzies sites while we spoke (but no website went on screen so a bit of a waste for follow up).  I couldnt see these to comment  (remind myself) as the tech switched off the monitor. I mentioned a few practical things and that infants dont sleep like adults etc - it seemed very short but I quickly figured well - all those who cosleep wont relate to the screaming bubs so I may as well point out that there could actually be REASONS for babies to be so distressed. And I said that controlled crying wasnt an option as it gave the message not to reach out when babies need help.

 

my brain has rattled all day how I could have done better but any impression that gentle options are best is a start.

 

I have had good feedback but I guess people didnt know what had been planned initially.

 

All comments welcome
