The New Contented Little Baby Book: The Secret to Calm and Confident Parenting

Product Information

Mention this book to a parent or family member and you can almost guarantee they will have an opinion, whether they have read it or not. Of course it’s impossible to follow each schedule to the minute, and I’m not sure why anyone would expect to do so perfectly. Bu kitap sayesinde ilk aydan beri bebeğimin gece ve gündüz uykuları düzenli, banyo rutinimiz, günlük rutinimiz, beslenme rutinimiz uyum içinde.

They will usually say something along the lines of “My friend used the routines from that book and their baby sleeps like an absolute angel, its incredible”. I believe this book will continue to be an excellent resource throughout baby’s first year given that the reader doesn’t try to live it verbatim. I think this book is best used as a guide and as a whole it flows much better when you pick and choose bits from it to suit your lifestyle and baby.Many friends recommended this book but while at the hospital it was universally scorned by the midwives and nurses. This book isn't totally dire if you are utterly los and in need a rigid timetable then her routines are spot on (in my experience as a nanny and mother) but her methods of achieving them are awful. I also found that I spent more time stressing over what came next than enjoying time with my baby and I felt that she wasn't particularly supportive of breast feeding. Gina Ford's Contented Little Baby Book became a runaway bestseller when it was first published in 1999.

I'm sure that there are some people who had babies with sleeping problems who have found this book a godsend.This completely revised edition of The New Contented Little Baby Book contains the most up-to-date advice available to parents. We are experiencing delays with deliveries to many countries, but in most cases local services have now resumed. In the circumstances, I have to reserve judgement on this one to some degree since there is so much specific (ludicrously so, seemingly) advice in here - so I'll look at what I've written here toward the end of the year maybe. I often felt that I was reading new, heavy information only to realize sections contained the same times or tips previously mentioned. There are more up-to-date and sensitive ways to bring up a child, please choose wisely and stay away from Gina Ford!

She was a very contented baby, and on the rare occasions when she did cry we could suss out what was wrong as we understood her feeding and sleeping patterns so well. Dolayısıyla kendi bebeğinizi tanıyıp Ford’un yöntemleriyle harmanlarsanız bence başarı elde etmemeniz mümkün değil. Now that I've read it I think I may well burn it, lest it fall into the hands of a mother who would be quite fine with her new baby without being told _every second of every day_ what she should be making her child (and herself) do. Being an absolute novice, I loved this book as it walked me through turning the light on and at what time etc. He really was the quintessential ‘good baby’ I don’t think it would have mattered if he was demand or routine.When I spoke with my uncle about this he said that they religiously used the Contented Little Baby Book routines and that they worked very well. She's against feeding on demand, despite all the splendid evidence that this method is good for both mother and baby; and she makes parents let their children scream (in one ghastly case study a parent "gave in" after letting her child scream for THREE hours) themselves to sleep, and then when the baby has collapsed exhausted the parent must pick up the child lest he/she sleep past the strictly regimented time-frame of nap. Gina says holding babies too much can be tiring for young bodies and can give them the wrong sleep associations. I did find many points within the book useful, namely that fact that it’s OK to wake up your sleeping baby. Sonrası da bebeğin uyksunu, yeme düzenini ve alışkanlıklarını anlamaya yönelik bölümler ve sık sorulan sorular içeriyor.

The claim that a baby of five months could be trained to sleep from 7am to 7pm made me laugh out loud. Please don't misunderstand me, she never frowns on it directly and there are entire sections dedicated to it, but since this style of parenting accounts for every detail, not knowing how much a baby has eaten doesn't quite fit with that model. 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. For new parents and parents-to-be who like having a step-by-step schedule as a guideline for baby routines, this book would be perfect for you.I do feel that a lot of the things in the book are common sense and providing you are not a total idiot, will happen naturally regardless.
