We have been asked by a number of our visitors to include
a section for Grandparents who for whatever reason have
become the main carers of their grandchildren.
Where we find another site that offers the support
we believe you would like need our policy is not to
duplicate it by further extending our own content but
rather to offer a link to the external site.
The Family Rights Group have an excellent article
on their site 'Second Time Around: A guide for
grandparents raising their grandchildren'
To see the article visit www.frg.org.uk/index.asp
and click on the 'Grandparent Carers' option.

Forum: | Sleepless nights | HELP!!!
Our 14 month old son has, for the last 3 weeks, woke during the night crying. Since then we are only getting about 2 hours sleep a night and we are absolutely exhausted.(his cot is our room and previous to this he was a great sleeper.) The only thing that settles him is letting him sleep with us . I know this can be dangerous and we dont actually get any sleep as we are so scared that we will suffocate him. On a health vistors advice, we tried controlled crying which was very difficult and upsetting for us all. Even after 3-4 hours of crying he still wouldnt settle and it would wake our other 2 older children. Having spoken to a different H.V since, they have suggested that we wont solve the matter unless our son is sleeping in another room away from us. we only have a 3 bedroom house so he will have to share a room with his 12 year old brother. Does anyone have any views if this may work?
