Description

The Contented Little Baby Book, based on Gina Ford's personal experience of caring for over 300 babies, was first published in 1999. It quickly established Gina as an influential new authority on baby and childcare issues and has remained one of the bestselling parenting books in the UK. This completely revised edition of The New Contented Little Baby Book contains the most up-to-date advice available to parents. Using the feedback from numerous readers and website members, Gina has been able to develop and elaborate on the information in her first book, while clearly setting out her philosophy on simple feeding and sleeping routines. By creating routines that match a growing baby's innate natural rhythms, Gina prevents the hunger, overtiredness and colic that can lead to excessive crying. Babies who are settled into Gina's gentle routines are happy and contented because their needs for food and sleep are appropriately met and they should sleep for their longest spell at night from an early age. With detailed, prescriptive information on everything parents need to know, this book includes chapters on: - Preparation for the birth - How the routines evolved and the benefits of following a routine - Milk feeding in the first year - Understanding your baby's sleep - Establishing a routine - Introducing solid food in line with government and World Health Authority guidelines - Common problems in the first year. Whether you are expecting your first child, or are experiencing difficulties with an older baby, this comprehensive guide contains all the expert guidance you need to help your baby feed and sleep well.

  • Like the other reviewers have said, quite a maddening book. Some nuggets there but a lot that just makes you feel guilty for not getting it right. Never mind, my son never did anything to a timetable and he's perfectly happy and healthy.

  • "A word of warning. Do not be tempted to purchase the microwave version of these sterilizers... It becomes a complete nuisance when you have to keep removing it to use the microwave for cooking." Well, if you find a small inconvenience like that a nuisance, then you'll surely be completely freaked out by the nuisance of following instructions like "10.45 a.m. Express 60 ml (2 oz) from the second breast". For a new parent, it's hard to know which parts of this method are actually practical, and rules like "never pick the baby up when he is crying" seem like guilt-trips waiting to happen. A writer in "Green Parent" magazine comments: "I find it helpful to read Gina Ford and then do the opposite"! MB 4-vii-2007

  • I am only admitting to owning this book so that it is in my library if a client needs a copy! Not my way of baby caring.
