This book is clearly written in an accessible easy to read style and just makes total sense! Gina understands the natural rhythms of babies and her routines work! My son has had a tricky start in life, yet now he eats, sleeps and plays well - all down to the genius of this book! Everyone comments on what a contented baby he is - even his consultants. Since being able to get him into the routines, he as never been happier. Having predictability and structure in his life helps him know where he is up to and feel secure and helps family life. Though we stick carefully to the routines most of the time, we adapt them for special occasions and holidays, but once over, he is immediately back on track. He is adaptable because he gets so much quality ... Read More:

I made the mistake of buying this book. As with other Gina Ford books if your child doesn't conform to her regime you feel inadequate and disappointed. She advises on day one (after they have proved they can do wee and poos on potty) to confine toddler in one room all day and repeatedly put them on the potty!! No way! I think I lasted half an hour and I got cabin fever. I found "No-cry Potty Training Solution: Gentle Ways to Help Your Child Say Good-bye to Diapers" by Elizabeth Pantley far more helpful and reassuring. Gina Ford does make things seem so easy, but she isn't training her own child and the whole thing can get emotional. In the Pantley book she says it can take up to 12 months before they get completly dry and with some I think it's ... Read More:

Like many people who have not read her books, I approached a Gina Ford book with caution - but the things said about her writing are not borne out by this book. I found it very useful as a good guide to when and how to introduce solids. The recipes are very quick and easy and my baby likes them. As with any advice book you need to apply your own common sense and not get hung up on following it to the letter. I had started weaning my baby and was all at sea with when to give her food, how much etc and this book has set me straight. I would definitely recommend it.

Just as all other Gina books this one follows on fantastically from the Contented Baby book. Just as you start to worry about the toddler years here is the book with all the answers to keep you calm and confident. Very helpful book that Im constantly referring to for different stages of my sons development, filled with loads of advise and tips. My son is a happy confident toddler with a happy contented family around him, what more could you ask for!

I bought this just a few weeks before my first baby was born at the end of last year, I found the first couple of chapters on general baby care and newborn very useful but then as the months went by, Gina seems to imply your baby 'should' be doing this and that and I sometimes felt that my baby didnt measure up to her exacting standards and her patronising tones made me feel inadequate as a first time mother. Her strict routines are well known and of course they are in here, not as detailed as in some of the other books but detailed enough for those of us who seem to muddle through and have babies not so suited to routines.
I thought the photos were nice and some of the babycare information was good however this could all be got elsewhere in more detail, ... Read More:

My son was 12 months old when I decided that I needed help getting him to sleep on his own. I didn't know which direction to take; should I leave him to cry? Should I pick up until he's stopped crying? I purchased this book and followed the instructions to get my son to sleep on his own. Yes it was hard, but I knew I had to do it. It worked and it took 7 days for him to be asleep within 20 minutes of being left in his cot at bedtime. This book saved me from the distraught and upsetting times we had at bedtime. It gives you loads of case studies to read and hopefully match with your sleeping problem. Good luck xxx

I was given this book as a present, as we have recently started weening. The recipes are healthy and easy to follow as well as being totally suitable for the whole family, even the recipes for the six month olds (although perhaps before it is pureed!)

This is making life so much easier not having to cook several different meals!

The recipes cover food for all different occasions snacks, main meals even party food.. Gina has most things covered here...

Having been recommended this book I was looking forward to picking up some useful tips. I was not able to breastfeed so any tips on bottle feeding was most welcome. What a disappointment, obviously this book is clearly for breastfeeders only, having the odd line or two at the end of a paragraph referring to bottle feeding. IF YOU ARE BOTTLE FEEDING DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK!
