Article (from Sunday's paper) FYI. It starts like this:


IT'S an issue that exhausts and divides every parent of a newborn baby: how do you get your child to sleep?

The two most trusted advice centres, Tresillian and Karitane, have quietly and controversially abandoned their policy of allowing a child to cry and learn to self-settle, instead advising parents to move into their baby's bedroom.


And ends like this:


The study's co-author, Dr Stephen Matthey, said controlled crying and sleeping in a child's room were equally effective.

Neither negatively impacted on the emotional health of the child, he said.

I think Dr Stephen needs to meet a few more situations before making such a conclusion ...

I think he hasn't read the latested research on infant brain development.. weird as there is quite a large body of evidence.. at least they are stepping in the right direction.. maybe in a little while they will get it right..
