sorry cant make it. Fynn has not been sleeping last nite and overtired this morning, screaming non-stop. What is this Gina Ford thing?

Gina ford - contented little baby is all about routine. It gives you rules/guidance to help get your baby sleeping/eating etc in a good pattern. i followed it religiously for the first 4 months but now wish i hadn't as i don't trust my own instincts. also if you are breast feeding a lot of it doesn't work as well. the things that were good are around daytime sleep and getting your milk supply up. if bottle feeding i know lots of people who swear by it though.

Thanks Jandlinhk & Rani. I had a look at the article and also checked out Gina Ford's books yesterday at the bookstore. I have tried to get the routine going even before this but nothing seem to be working. He is waking up like 3 am and not sleep till 6/7am! Previous times, he would cry and fuss the whole time but last nite, he was quiet most time, wide awake untill 7.30am this morning, cried a bit and dozed off due to overtiredness! I checked that he is not sleeping too much during the day and do the bath routine as instructed but still this waking period. Sigh.
