Daily Telegraph, 16 May 2006
This book is, without doubt, the wisest book about families I have ever read.
The Observer, 14 May 2006
May well be seen as the most sensible book ever written on how to bring up a baby.

Rachel's routine's are a great alternative to Gina Ford. They are more flexible and easier to maintain.
The sleep training helped my son sleep through the night from two weeks and he thrives on the routine.
I recommend this book to all new parents I meet!

I totally loved this book. As a second time parent, it gave me valuable, gentle guidance on setting sleep routines, feeding times and controlled crying. Rachel speaks a lot of common sense and promotes a more traditional, loving approach then other books. She favours plenty of walks for babies, sleeping outside wrapped up rather then in darkened nurseries and prayers at bedtime.
Her approach is gentler then other books, but she still recognises that babies thrive on routine, need to feel loved and that parents do not need to feel bullied and pressured into following ideas they may not be comfortable with.
Anyone who follows her approach will have a happy, thriving baby and relaxed confident parents.

16 days after the birth of my little boy I can safely say this book is sanity saving. Wise, simple, practical advice on all aspects of family life with a new baby. Flexible schedules that help structure baby's day (and Mum's) from the start. Excellent chapter on crying and how to understand and reduce it. As a very new mum I have read and re-read it over the past weeks and return to it daily. I wish I could afford to hire Rachel herself! This book is THAT good - my baby is asleep - and I'm writing this instead of joining him!

I would not recommend using baby sleeping bags (often known as grobags) until your baby is about three months old,

Always breastfeed first, making quite sure that he has taken all the milk you have, and then top up with a bottle. He may only need about 25 ml (1 fl oz), so start with that and add another 25 ml if he is still hungry.

Duvets and quilts are not suitable for babies under one year, as they can overheat.
