Cristina - My daughters are ages 18 and 12 and couldn't be better in every
respect. When they were 18 months, they both cried a lot at night and slept
in our bed, where they nursed when they liked. Whether your client or her
baby were traumatized by the virus and treatment, there's no better remedy
than what you describe. What's more healing than sleeping at mother's
breast?
Here in the U.S. there's a great emphasis on solving problems such as you
describe. The classic book on the topic is Richard Ferber's Solve Your
Child's Sleep Problems." See

For my wife, a howling baby wasn't a "problem." My wife nursed her way
through. Looking at my daughter's now, it all worked out for the best.

Subject: [ConstellationTalk] baby sleep advice
Hi Friends
I would appreciate some advice. I have a client who is breastfeeding an 18
months old baby. This baby had a virus when he was two weeks old and was
send to the hospital for three or four days. The mother was also in the
hospital. He had a spinal tap there and several times a day they took blood.
At nigjht, this baby cries a lot and cannot sleep unless is with mother in
the bed and breastfeeding.
Any advice?
Thanks, Cristina
