We seldom had to use this and it is hard to do, but Gina gives clear guidelines on how to manage it while ensuring your child feels secure and loved.

Having noted that I was reading the book, my respected friends-with-kids were unanimous in their hatred of the "Queen of routine". The bit that is stuck in my memory the most is the story of parents that took a sleeping pill with a glass of wine and went to sleep while their baby was crying for hours next door while being trained by Gina.Her advice and methods have been a godsend to tired, stressed parents throughout the world and have helped a generation of children go to bed on time and sleep soundly through the night.

One thing I do remember from all those years ago is that my uncle and aunt never seemed to have any issues getting my cousins to bed. I never got the impression that following these routines was somehow unloving, especially since the author explains how overhandling and overstimulating your baby is not in its best interest.

There are more up-to-date and sensitive ways to bring up a child, please choose wisely and stay away from Gina Ford!

A quote from the “Daily Telegraph”, but this cry could equally have come from the thousands of mothers who have put Gina Ford’s kind but firm routines into practice and put some calm back into their lives.

Gina doesn't seem to understand that babies have emotional needs too she's all about the eating, sleeping and nappy changing. Mothers and babies need love and support, not wagging fingers and blacked out windows and measured-out-to-the-millileter-and-millisecond feeding and nap times.
