Millpond Children's Sleep Clinic The highly acclaimed Millpond Children's Sleep Clinic has a 97% success rate in resolving children's sleep problems. The techniques that they use are not new or unique to them but well-recognized core techniques that have been fully researched and used by many professionals around the world. However what distinguishes their approach is that they do not adhere to any one particular technique in a given situation, believing that the solution to a sleep problem must take into account the particular family's environment, composition, needs and expectations. So they take a tailor-made approach: one that is sympathetic rather than prescriptive and that always has the child at its centre. All of the team at Millpond are qualified health professionals with many years experience helping families solve their children's sleep problems. Their latest book 'Teach Your Child to Sleep' published by Hamlyn is now available. As a first step to a good night's sleep, call Millpond on: (+44) (0) 20 8444 0040. Or visit:www.mill-pond.co.uk

Natural Parenting The site for parents who question the "modern" approaches to pregnancy, birth and child-raising, and wish to return to more nurturing methods of parenting. It provides a wealth of information on all things associated with 'natural parenting'; home-births, terry nappies, the immunisation debate etc. Although informative and fundamentally sound, I believe it should be read alongside other schools of parenting and I did find some of the ideas slightly unrealistic; Instead of TV, give them a smooth piece of twig to play with - interesting but I still think my son would choose Postman Pat.

Working Moms' Refuge As you can guess by the spelling of mum, there's an American bias here. This week's question on the bulletin board was heavily Christian; biblical references may help you, or not. Paediatric bits were interesting.

Zero to Three American health site, with lots of information on the different stages of development, with short batches of advice on how to help your child on the physical, emotional and linguistic front at each stage. The accompanying shopping basket is slightly irritating (as in trying to sell you a soft bouncy ball after recommending one for 7 month babies), but the site is an interesting read none the less.
