Rating: - Please read - DO NOT buy this book!
My husband bought this book for me with the best of intentions the day i gave birth to our first baby. I read it and was appalled at the content.

I don't wish to offend but i feel sorry for any baby/child raised according to Gina Ford's ideas. No baby ever benefitted from being breastfed by the clock and left to cry.

Believe me, the only 'expert' you will ever need is Dr William Sears, an advocate of 'Attachment Parenting'. This style of parenting is so much more loving ... Read More

Rating: - Nice book but made me feel inadequate...
I bought this just a few weeks before my first baby was born at the end of last year, I found the first couple of chapters on general baby care and newborn very useful but then as the months went by, Gina seems to imply your baby 'should' be doing this and that and I sometimes felt that my baby didnt measure up to her exacting standards and her patronising tones made me feel inadequate as a first time mother.

Rating: - a nice book but disappointing advice
I bought this book because of all the wonderful reviews it had gotten and read it cover to cover while pregnant.

Rating: - Gorgeous book, perfect gift
Agree with all that has been said previously!!!!!! Perfect gift for any new mum (First, fith), gorgeous pictures and lots of simple tips. Perfect addition to the Contented Little baby series, but also excellent as a stand alone book.

Rating: - Wonderful guide to the first year
This is a lovely book,packed with so much useful information that will guide you through the first year of a newborn.
I found that I not only read it cover to cover but returned to it time and again to read up on various milestones. I particularly liked the easy layout interspersed with beautiful photography.
Whether a Gina follower or not this is a great book to have and to give as a gift.
