The Contented Little Baby Book, based on Gina Ford's personal experience of caring 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 one of the bestselling parenting books in the UK for almost 20 years.

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 and website members, Gina has been able to develop and elaborate on the information in her first book, while 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. Babies who are settled into Gina's gentle routines are happy and contented because their needs for food and sleep are appropriately met and they should sleep for their longest spell at night from an early age.

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.

Review

"Gina Ford is the Delia Smith of parenting...while Delia tells you how to make the perfect omelette, Gina Ford in her baby-care manual The Contented Little Baby Book, draws on 30 years' experience to tell you how to nurture the perfectly happy baby." YOU Magazine "For me she was an absolute godsend." -- Kate Winslet "It is hard to overestimate the good she has done...How to reward this great benefactor of mankind?...My wife takes the view that only sainthood will do." Peter Osborne, Political Editor, The Spectator "I devoured it (Contented Little Baby Book) in one sitting. It was hilarious. The claim that a baby of five months could be trained to sleep from 7am to 7pm made me laugh out loud. Little did I realise that this was the start of my conversion to the gospel according to St Gina. That Gina Ford would soon acquire an almost divine status in my life...I look back on my BGE (Before Gina Era) and think of how many of my babies has cried and cried as I ever more desperately struggled to get them to sleep...My only regret, of course, is that Gina did not write her book years ago, when my older children were born. I look in the mirror and wonder what a difference that would have made to the bags under my eyes. If motherhood had always been as easy as it seems this time, I might not have had five children - but 10. Maybe Ruth Kelly's secrets is that she has a copy of St Gina." -- Martine Oborne Evening Standard "This book could be your salvation!" The Daily Telegraph

Good information but difficult to put into practice

Reviewed in the United Arab Emirates 🇦🇪 on 20 November 2021

Verified Purchase

The principles in the book are useful to understand how to schedule your baby’s day - sleep and awake windows etc. However, it is extremely rigid and assumes your baby and run to a precise timetable. The risk is that as a new mum, you’re made to feel like you’re failing which is the absolute last thing you need! Read the book, but take it with a handful of salt

Not for everyone

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 16 November 2018

Verified Purchase

Being a first time mum I was encouraged to buy this. It’s going to the charity shop. She’s way too regimented for me personally. I’ve looked at a couple of other books too offering very different advice, but decided to go with my own flow with my baby. Read these books and if they don’t work for you and your baby you can end up beating yourself up by thinking you’re failing. When you’re not. You can end up spending a fortune on books. The best thing you can do is ensure your baby is clean, fed, the right temperature, winded and you are on the right track. Forget all the frilly stuff packed into these ridiculous books.

Unforgivingly strict

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 14 June 2019

Verified Purchase

As a first time and new mum this routine was unforgiving. When my baby decided she wasn’t sticking Gina Ford’s routines the book made me feel as though I was failing. Several months on I realise that some babies will just not be shoehorned into a strict routine. I’m sure it works for some mum’s but not for me and my little one. I also felt that Ford’s disclaimer that she isn’t encouraging a regime is a bit fake because the routines are set out as such. Even to the point of the mum eating at a certain time.

Awful book!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 12 May 2019

Verified Purchase

Preachy, regimented and unrealistic. No room for babies to be individuals. No room for attending appointments, a doorbell ringing that wakes baby or not being able to express the exact amount at the allotted time. I’ve heard that parts of this book helped one friend of mine but most people I know who have bought it have ended up demoralised, frustrated and upset. Avoid it at all costs.

Depressing - not for everyone

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 16 December 2018

Verified Purchase

I read this whilst going through a difficult patch when my daughter was 3 months old after several people recommended it however, this style of parenting just didn't work for me, I got quite down and felt like a failure after reading it thinking I was doing everything wrong. Instead, I would recommend the Cheshire baby whisperer book, far less rigid/baby-led methods for resolving sleep problems and I got my life back, and some sleep!

Good book. Careful with negative reviews they generallize too much

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 17 April 2021

Verified Purchase

I read the comments here and almost gave up buying thr book because they were so negative. Decided to give it a try as it was highly recommended by a friend. I feel that most of negative reviews here are from people who didnt actually read the book, because they are distorting and generalizing whats written in the book and its not fair to the author. For instance author never states that you should let you baby starve between feedings just to comply with schedules, she also doesnt tell you to never breastfeed looking at the baby (just at the mate feed, and u could just unfollow it). So take negative reviews with a pinch of salt. I thought book was very well written and explains well the rationale for schedules.
