Pinky McKay wrote: Hi Jo, I feel sad that the only 'solutions' offered are letting babies cry -I also have an enormous problem with avoiding eye contact I have seen several babies lately whose mums have been concerned (worried and upset re bonding) because bubs are avoiding making eye contact with mum -babies make great eye contact with dad ( who isnt doing settling/ sleep training)and have found babies making direct eye contact and smiling at me as I talk to their parents - I would never suggest to a mum that she had done anything 'wrong' , but each time have discovered mum has been using a method of avoiding eye contact with bub to give clear sleep messages - as advocated by lots of sleep trainers. Im finding a lot of mums using The Contented Little baby book by Gina Ford (Childless english nanny) I find this really upsetting -isnt it precious to have a tiny bub look at you and smile in the dead of night? How would we feel if our partners deliberately avoided eye contact as we tried to engage? Hang in there JO - there are gentle gradual ways to remove a dummy if you want -Think in terms of gradually with love If you are ok about it dont worry - lots of babies give up dummies by themselves later in the first year - very few seem to naturally self settle before 4 months anyway. A dummy is apparently best out by a year because of teeth formation/ distortion but that leaves plenty of time to make changes - there is no need to make a baby cry it out. Pinky Thanks, Pinky :) I know it is impossible to avoid eye contact... these dark little eyes in the middle of the night staring at me with utmost adoration, knowing that I am about to pick him up and feed him. Even for daytime sleeps... I tried that, but his eyes just willed me to look at him. So I do. I look at him and say nini and he watches me leave the room. Mostly, this works just fine! I just have to go in to him every few min when the dummy falls out when he's on the brink of sleep, to replace it. Again, I can't help but make eye contact. I heard there is a window about 5 - 6 months when you can remove the dummy, so I might wait another month and try then. I am not prepared for the 'few days of crying' I was told to expect.

I heard there is a window about 5 - 6 months when you can remove the dummy, so I might wait another month and try then. I am not prepared for the 'few days of crying' I was told to expect. With my first, everytime I tried to remove the dummy, she started sucking her thumb. My dentist said dummies were preferable to thumbs, so she kept her dummy - nights only - until she was 3.5 and I had something she was willing to relinquish it for. She gave it up cold turkey and never asked for it again. Kate -- This mailing list is sponsored by ACE Graphics. Visit http://www.acegraphics.com.au to subscribe or unsubscribe.
Re: [ozmidwifery] Pinky McKay - an amazing woman
A tip I heard from a few mums / nannies was that if you make a snip at the end of the dummy, they quickly get bored of it - it no longer provides that soothing suck so they become disinterested. My son had a dummy which helped his reflux when he was little, but gave it up on his own when his teeth came through - he kept biting holes in them and ruined them.

It covers common myths then follows up with current abstracts; highlights policies and management; outcomes and so on. ALL evidenced based. ALL current.

Awareness of the individual’s rights to make informed choice is a main focus of the group. We encourage women and their families to become actively involved in the decision making that will effect the birth of their child. Aiming to increase community awareness and understanding of the issues surrounding surgical birth is also a main focus. Recovery is a crucial element for maintaining good health. It is very important that a woman is fully informed of the physical recovery, but more importantly we focus on the vital need for emotional healing. Through a safe, caring and understanding environment, women and their partners are encouraged to follow their path to emotional healing. Education is important when making decisions and it is our goal to be up-to-date on current trends and philosophies. By providing relevant information to women and the community, we hope that a greater understanding of the effects of caesarean birth will reduce the amount of traumatic experiences. Support for birth choices is vital, especially for those seeking vaginal birth after caesarean. By providing women with the options available to them and then respecting that choice, we hope to empower women and their families to achieve the desired positive birth for both mother and child. --*-- We will be willing to supply email versions for people at a small cost -perhaps a CARES membership of $20 pa- further details will be available for those interested.
