Hi.

Has anyone read Gina Ford's New Contented Little Baby Book and is using her routines with your baby?

I have a 5 week old I am trying to get into good routine and sleep through the night.

Your comments on her strategies please.

I personally think that gina ford is a little too strict.
I'm halfway between attachment parenting and controlled crying, but favour more the side of attachment parenting, which is probably why I don't like her book.

I found a book, called Save Our Sleep (Tizzie Hall) that I absolutely love. Not as strict as gina ford, offers different routines for different ages and different stages, depending on what the parent can cope with.

good luck!

I see that this was posted a while ago, but..........

I am using the Gina Ford Contented Little Baby Book and have found it great! Has made my baby and I much happier. Can't recommend it highly enough. Tizzie Hall's Save Our Sleep is also very good.

I found a mixture of Tizzie Hall and Gina Ford worked for me - this wasn't until he was around six months old though and wish I had started earlier. Def will for #2!

I used Gina Ford's New Contented Little Baby Book and found it fabulous. Obviously you need to be flexible eg. my little one slept a lot more then she suggested in the first few months. I found it great to have a routine to follow and am always referring back to it (even now when my son is nearly 10mths).
I also purchased her weaning book which I found just as good.
Cheers
