Book Reviews of The Contented Little Baby: The Simple Secrets of Calm, Confident Parenting
Book Review: Everything you'll want if you like to be in control!
Summary: 5 Stars
A few weeks after delivering our first baby, I was feeling very dazed and confused. I really felt on edge being a new mum with this new life depending on me. I read an article about a famous mother of four children who follows the Contented Baby routines and figured this lady would know what to do considering she had four kids! So off I went to buy the book!
To say Gina Ford's books have helped both myself and my baby is an understatement. Finally I felt like our day's had some structure and sure enough, our son slept through the night from 14 weeks on. (remembering we didn't start this till late. Next time I will begin from day one!)
People always comment on how happy our son is and don't be fooled by critics, I have NEVER left my son to cry himself to sleep nor has he ever gone without a feed (infact, if anything, I think the CLB are the best fed babies I know!).
If you like to structure your days and feel in control, THIS is your book. If you are more of a 'go with the flow, let it be' kind of person, you may find it an interesting read and gain some good tips, but you'll probably find the routines a little out of your comfort zone.
All I can say is we have one of the best sleeping, happiest babies I know and a happy mum and dad to boot! Thank you Gina Ford!
