The Contented Little Baby Book, based on Gina Ford's personal experience of cari
ng for over 300 babies, was first published in 1999. It quickly established Gina
as an influential new authority on baby and childcare issues and has remained o
ne 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 avail
able to parents.
Using the feedback from numerous readers and website members
, Gina has been able to develop and elaborate on the information in her first bo
ok, while clearly setting out her philosophy on simple feeding and sleeping rout
ines. By creating routines that match a growing baby's innate natural rhythms, G
ina prevents the hunger, overtiredness and colic that can lead to excessive cryi
ng. Babies who are settled into Gina's gentle routines are happy and contented b
ecause their needs for food and sleep are appropriately met and they should slee
p for their longest spell at night from an early age.
