When you have a little one and they are crying their eyes out sometimes you just cannot think what to do and how to work out what the problem is. This is where this book comes in. It is comprehensive enough to give you sound advice and plenty of it but organised in such a way that it is easy to read and find the potential answer to why your baby is crying.
Divided into clearly headed chapters; each one covers one of the main causes for a baby crying. Beginning with hunger which Gina identifies as 'one of the most common causes for babies to be unhappy or unsettled'. She then moves on to cover sleep, stimulation, feeding problems, separation anxiety, before briefly concluding with any other causes (such as teething or illness). Chances are by the time you have got through only a couple of chapters you'll have found a solution and almost certainly by the end of the book!!
Even if you are unsure about Gina Ford's methods and consider her routines to be too strict for you and your little one then give this book a chance, this book might be the Gina book for you! It gives suggestions of times for naps and feeds to help you identify if your little one is eating and sleeping enough (actually as a first time parent I would have found that helpful as I had no idea!) I have used many of her books and have found her advice invaluable. I would agree with other reviews in saying that it is a collection of tips from other books however the layout makes points more accessible for you especially if you have a young child and are focusing specifically on a crying problem.
