When my son was 6 months old, he was still waking up 3-4 times a night. Every time I put him back to bed, I couldn't get back to sleep myself, knowing that he was going to wake up again anyway...I couldn't think straight, I was so knackered. My health visitor couldn't help, my GP told me it was normal and I was beginning to feel really low.
One day a lady in the park recommended reading this book. I thought, why not, I have nothing to lose. Well, it was an eye-opening experience! After reading it - it made loads of sense - I went out and bought the Contented Little Baby Book too (I was warned off that book by loads of people, so I never touched it before 2 months ago!). That weekend I started putting him on the routines and used the advice from the sleep book and guess what? After a few nights, HE STARTED SLEEPING THROUGH THE NIGHT! I could hardly believe it the first night, but then it just continued. I feel so stupid for listening to all the negative comments about Gina Ford books, instead of reading them myself and making my own mind up. My darling baby boy is 10 months old now and he is an outrageously happy kid! We are seriously considering having some more children now...
If you are a new mum, struggling to cope with lack of sleep or simply someone who wants to understand their baby more, then I hugely recommend you to buy this no-nonsense sensible book. It is simply fantastic!

This book is very good for tackling any kind of sleep issue or association that might develop i.e. dummy, rocking and cuddling. I am not a cruel mother who doesnt cuddle her baby, but we had got to a point where very evening he was on my lap asleep and as soon as head touched the cot there were tears. I used the case studies in the book to figure out a solution. There are many case studies for babies of all ages and they are very helpful. It works very well with the contented baby book, but is helpful to any parent having sleep problems with their baby. I would reccomend it.

This is a great book for simple straight forward understanding of sleep. Thanks to this book my little girl who is 9 months has been sleeping through the night (7pm - 7.30am) for months, sleeps 3 hours during the day and is rarely overtired. The case studies are really helpful as is the blend of advice from Gina Ford and other sleep experts. I have recommended this book to many others and passed mine on to a friend who is struggling with her little boy who is up several times a night at 18months old. If you value your and your little ones sleep this book is for you!

I wanted to be open minded about this book as it is a bestseller. However, it goes against all our instincts about babies; what about providing them with love and not trying to... Read more

Pretty good
Once you've read it, you realise it's just common sense. My baby started to wake earlier and earlier so I cut back on his lunchtime sleep in the hope he would sleep longer. Read more
