“…Lette, 1993), and childcare books (e.g. Jolly, 1986), and even among some midwives ( Jackson, Schmierer & Schneider, 1996). In menstrual-cycle research, Ussher (1992) attributes the discrepancy between retrospective reporting of negative mood changes and the absence of such reports in daily records to stereotypical responses based on the negative discourse associated with women de ned in terms of their reproductive function.…”

Cognition in pregnancy and the first year post‐partum

A longitudinal study measured the performance of a group of 15 pregnant women on tests of verbal memory, divided attention, and focused attention on four occasions (second trimester, third trimester, 6 weeks post-partum, and 1 year post-partum) while at the same time obtaining self-assessment ratings of these cognitive functions. A group of 14 non-pregnant women was studied at equivalent intervals. The two groups of women did not differ in performance on the objective tests, and there was no change in performance over time except for an improvement in the measure of focused attention from the first to the final testing occasion. However, the self-assessment ratings showed that in the second trimester, the pregnant women rated themselves as more impaired than before compared with the non-pregnant women for all three cognitive abilities. To ensure that this difference was not due to the retrospective nature of the comparison of current with previous cognitive ability, a second longitudinal study compared 25 pregnant and 10 non-pregnant women using daily ratings over a period of 1 week on four occasions during pregnancy and the first year post-partum. Women in the third trimester of pregnancy reported mild impairments in their focused and divided attention ability and their ability to remember what they had read compared with the non-pregnant women. The results show that there are perceived cognitive impairments during pregnancy. It is suggested that these may be the result of mild impairments which are not revealed in objective tests because they can be overcome by conscious effort in short periods of testing. Alternatively, the perceptions may not be based on actual impairments but may result from depressed mood or expectations concerning the effect of pregnancy on cognition.

“…This finding applies to both nonindustrial and industrialised cultures, and thus undermines the argument that cosleeping is more primitive and therefore more natural than independent sleep. Nevertheless, several authors (Bax, 1980;Jolly, 1985;Raphael, 1976;Werry & Carleille, 1981) continue to assert that infant sleep disturbances are the result of culturally based beliefs which lead western parents to separate from their infants prematurely. Consequently, cosleeping has been advocated as the answer to ISD (Bax, 1980;La Leche League International, 1981;Thevenin, 1977).…”

“…This progress has been accompanied by criticisms of these treatments in both the lay and professional literature (Bax, 1980;Elizabeth, 1988;Jolly, 1985;Jones & Verduyn, 1983;Kirkland, 1985;La Leche League International, 1981;Lask, 1977;Lozoff & Brittenham, 1979;Raphael, 1976;Rolfe, 1990;Sears, 1985;Thevenin, 1977;Werry & Carleille, 1981). The result is that many parents feel unsure about treating ISD and find themselves unable to give the commitment and consistency that treatment programs require.…”

Handling Parents' Concerns Regarding the Behavioural Treatment of Infant Sleep Disturbance

Infant sleep disturbance (ISD) is widespread and troublesome. Although effective management techniques have been established, some lay and professional authors have expressed concern about these interventions. These concerns are sometimes shared by parents who seek professional advice while feeling ambivalent about undertaking treatment. These concerns include (a) that ISD is normal and inevitable, (b) that it results from unnatural or artificial cultural practices, (c) the belief that ISD expresses a need state, and (d) the belief that the use of extinction is harmful. These concerns are examined and the management of ISD by extinction and its alternatives are considered in the light of the ethics of professional practice. It is concluded that these concerns are best answered within the context of a professional relationship based on a partnership and the sharing of expertise with parents.
