Fantastic Book, 2008-07-02
Really enjoyed this book. It gave me lots of insight into how to look after my 4 month old daughter. Really interesting and a great book to return to. Would recommend it to anyone. So much better than any Gina Ford rubbish. This book was just right for me because it really suits my parenting style. It gave me the confidence to look after my daughter the way I felt was right. some quite radical ideas, but no pressure to follow anything that doesn't feel instinctively right. A great book to help you argue against the Gina Ford system! Easy to read.

Forget Gina Ford, 2003-06-16
she should run a boot camp ...This author actually knows what she is talking about when it comes to children. This book gives you permission to listen to your instincts. It's a shame we need that really but years of bad advice on parenting has meant our society no longer trusts itself to bring up childrem naturally! If you know a mum to be buy her this, and/or anything by Deborah Jackson and William Sears! Spread the word, babies are not born manipulative and do not "need" training, their wants are their needs!

Excellent, 2007-10-05
Really exciting and interesting book. I couldn't put it down and wish I had brought it while I was still pregnant.
It may not be practical to follow all the suggestions but it's well worth a read if you are interested in the natural way to bring up your baby. Your baby will be a lot more content when it is raised the way it was supposed to be!

A warm, lovely book, 2004-06-03
I've been carrying my baby in one arm, and this book in another! As a first-time mum, I tried out Gina Ford-style routines on my baby son, with horrible results. What a joy to come across this Dr Bill's inspired, thoughtful book. It totally turned my thinking around and helped me start being a loving parent.

I only wish I hd read it before giving birth.

a lovely book which puts the joy back into parenting. the more 'modern' we get the less 'with' our children we tend to be. this book tells you how to stay attached and tells you about the benefits of doing so. the information and suggestions about breastfeeding are accurate and written really well. the book is very pro 'natural' stuff like slings, proper nappies etc. without making you feel guilty if you can't use them. I highly recommend this book - especially to those parents who find Gina Ford's 'the contented little baby book' too unreal.
