Format:Hardcover
One of the best books to read as a mum who may from time to time doubt themselves. It is somehow reassuring to see what you are feeling in black and white. Internet sites are a great source of information, but sometimes you may feel silly to discuss things. Gina touches on them all. It also has helped me understand my relationship with my mum and my husbands relationship with his mum. Thanks again Gina

I love this book!! I've had a copy since it was first published and just read it (for the third time) last week. Everytime I read it I cry!!! It makes me feel so proud to be a mother - Gina's examination of the pressures on modern parents, and the insights into her relationship with her own mother, make fascinating and thought-provoking reading. I couldn't care one iota whether or not Gina Ford has kids, she has worked with hundreds of mothers in her career and is very well-placed to objectively observe our pressures.
Definately not just for those who follow the Contented Little Baby routines, "Good Mother Bad Mother" is essential reading for all mums today!

All mothers ask themselves at some time am I doing a good job? This book examines why mothers feel compelled to question themselves and tells the true story of many mothers while examining the many sides of being a a mother and the many influences on both mother and child. I enjoyed reading true life stories form Gina who has known many mothers and situations in the past. This book brings all that exposure together tracking the many facets of motherhood to conclude that the answer to the question am I a good or bad mother - unanswerable.
Enjoyable reading that Im sure my mother will enjoy the read now Ive passed it on and Im sure other mothers will too. Using this platform to slag off Gina Ford and her methods is stupid as this book doesn't advocate any right or wrong way of mothering it merely examines the roles of motherhood and tells and very moving story of Ginas own childhood and mother experiences.

Very interesting read from the most controversial maternity nurse
I enjoyed this book a lot. Gina recommends a routine for most babies which sounds quite draconian. A read through the book gives us an idea of what she is really about. Read more
