| I know people who have tried Gina Ford and swear by it. These people tend to like routines and have miraculously given birth to a baby who also likes routines.
Personally I tried it for half a day with my first and after three hours was so frazzled that I gave up, deciding I had given birth to a baby and not a robot. For a while I felt a failure as I had been unable to follow the rules that would produce the perfect baby. However, these feelings soon subsided. I found it much easier to make my life fit around his and once we were 'working' together our own routine fell into place, which was much less stressful and more relaxing.
For those that it works for, fantastic, but please don't see it as a blanket approach, not all children are built the same way-as my three will agree.
And before you start using the book, a point to consider is that Gina Ford has never had any children of her own. |
