"My baby bible!"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

This book has helped me to establish a routine with both my babies – I would be lost without it !

"Fantastic guide for new mums with advise and routines for 0-12mt"
4 stars"

Fabulous book that I used as a guideline, found the routines and some of the advise could be overly prescribed. Definitely some great takeaways and when you had little knowledge of routines or what to expect it was helpful. We had our little one on the ‘routine’ slightly adapted from 3 days old and has been a contented child, sleeping and feeding well. Had to stay to true to it though and adapt our lifestyle to suit the babies timings, but it definitely helped me. Def a bedside manual that could be referred to regularly during that 1st year.

Description

Many thousands of mothers have put Gina Ford's kind but firm routines into practice and put some calm back into their lives. “The New Contented Little Baby Book” gives reassuring and practical advice to new parents that works!

The Contented Little Baby Book, based on Gina Ford's personal experience (as a maternity nurse) of caring for hundreds of babies, was first published in 1999, establishing Gina as an influential new authority on baby and childcare issues. It remains 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, Gina has further developed and elaborated on the information in her first book, while still 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. Her secret is simple and amazing – a strategy developed through years of research and experience.

When put into practice, ‘Gina babies’: sleep through the night from an early age; feed regularly and well from either breast or bottle; and are less likely to suffer from colic. And parents are calm and contented too!

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.
