Vermilion The Contented Baby with Toddler Book

Read the contented little baby book before my first was born, so thought I would have a look through this follow up book now that second baby has arrived.In general I find the Gina Ford routines, or rather the style of writing, too prescriptive (I find it unnecessarily for her to stipulate the specific activities toddler should be engaged in at certain times of day for example). Having said that, there is some very useful information in here, in particular I appreciate the guidance on sleep requirements at different stages of the first year.I have several friends who follow Gina Ford's routines to the letter and swear by them, and others who wouldn't touch this book with a barge pole. But for us, a happy medium seems to work well, and i would definitely recommend reading this book if you are interested in establishing any sort of routine with your little ones.

I already have the contended baby book so was hoping for a little more guidance with my baby's routine to include school runs. Sadly this book doesn't really give you much to help and the routines are almost identical to the contended baby book so I've donated it to a friend and I've continued to use my old book.

I love GF and used the contented baby routine (quite loosely!) with child 1, but found this book to be a repeat of the baby book with little new info / info on toddler issues. Wouldn’t recommend it, just get the original book.

an essential for moms

Didn't read much more as she suggests using sugar water to stretch feeds in babies. I think that's so bad at such a young age.
