I hope you have all had a wonderful holiday and ready for the new year.  I was fortunate enough to have nearly 3 weeks in Perth where there was lots of lovely sunshine which I made the most of before coming back to the rain and overcast weather of Sydney.  I had a lovely time catching up with friends and family and lots of time relaxing.  On my return I had quite a few days of mobile phone problems so I'm very sorry if you were unable to get through to me or didn't get a reply to messages left.  If you are calling please just keep trying.  The best times to call is between 12 and 6pm.  God willing all problems have now been ironed out! 

I'm glad many of you have found our articles on Childcare and School Preparations and The pros and cons of child care helpful as well as our tips on How to Toilet Train Your Toddler.

This Month's Article

I would like to go back and look at some topics that have been popular.  As school has started this month I'd like to look at packed lunches.  Eva Reed is an accredited Practising Dietician and has written a great article titled: Packing Lunch.  "Packing lunch boxes is a task that parents do thousands of times. Some find it easy, others find it difficult to know what to put in there... "  To read more please follow the above link.

Parents Testimonies

Lesleigh's Story

It was virtually impossible to settle our baby who would only sleep for 45 mins and if she did sleep it was in the pram or on me! She cried/screamed most of the day. Everyone would try settling her but to no avail. My husband and I were averaging 3 hours sleep a night as she woke every few hours. I had read every book – trying not to overstimulate her, giving her the dummy (I used this all the time) feeding on demand (when she cried), all the settling techniques from Karitane etc. Nothing worked. After 3.5 months of this stress and sleep deprivation, I was physically and mentally exhausted and I could feel myself getting depressed. A friend sent me an article on reflux and my bub had a whole host of the symptoms. I immediately contacted Cradle 2 Kindy and it was the best thing we have ever done. After two nights with our nurse, our baby started sleeping through the night! I am still in a state of shock as I write this (two weeks later). We continued to follow her recommendations and there has only been 2 nights that she hasn’t completely slept through since our nurse came and that is because we had noisy party goers staying next door. She also sleeps during the day now in her cot! She now resettles herself and sleeps without a dummy. I still cannot believe it. She is such a content little thing and feeds much better now too. I feel like I have bonded more with my baby in the past two weeks then in the 3 months prior as she is calm and happy and we can actually play without her screaming during so much of her awake time. I am so relieved that my baby is no longer in pain (thanks to being put on the correct medication) and is actually sleeping. And catching up on sleep is a blessing for me and my hubby too! Thank you Cradle2Kindy for your support, professionalism and for your expertise which has changed our lives. I am actually enjoying being a mum now.
