Sue Gerhardt's style of argument can be summed up as follows. Some of the people with problem A also have B. One possible explanation for B is C. C might be linked to experiences in early years. Therefore problem A is caused by not being loved enough as a baby. This is used to explain every problem from asthma to unemployment.
Starting with the simple and uncontroversial point that babies who are cared for tend to do better than babies who are not, Sue Gerhardt's obsession with her view of how mothers should behave towards babies distorts everything from then on. She only quotes bits of scientific studies that she can use to support her ideas, ignoring contradictory evidence even if it is in the same studies she quotes. She hardly ...

This book is really not what it's cracked up to be. The title is completely misleading as it does not provide any solutions. I bought it when I read some of the reviews recommending it as a must have and I really would love to know what possessed people to think it was of any use. The author provides no definative advice and says things like 'if you think you can't do it just give up' (the problems here are that she does not provide you with anything to give up on as she tells you nothing....) and this is not what a parent in dire straits (hence buying her book in the first place) needs to here. Really I cannot put too fine a point on it...you really can live WITHOUT this book.

Patronising American book.
As first time parent this book wasn't useful at all. Tries to be funny, but misses the mark. When you've been up all night with a new born and need advice the jokes are even less "funny" Babies aren't robots as this book refers to them as. Kaz Cooke Kid Wrangling is far superior - and makes for far more enjoyable reading. >>More Details |

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 than the strict routine style that Gina pushes. Do yourself and your baby a favour...avoid this book like the plague. I'm just sorry i have to give 1 star just to be able to review it. >>More Details |

I am assuming that the review below, copied from the `Comments' area of this item, was the original review that the other two reviews refer to - so well done to all who got it deleted from the system.
I couldn't agree more with these two reviews on this item - this is a blank baby book for parents to fill in, with photos and text, as their baby develops over those precious first 12 months. What does puzzle me is the fact that it got a positive vote in the first place - unless the author is also guilty of voting for his own reviews which is quite possible given how his `helpful' votes whizz up - you only need to look back at the review pages to see how obtuse the subjects are and how suspicious the voting is, especially on items that have ...

I really enjoyed this. It's intelligent, thoughtful and heartwarming. So much is written about mothers and their children that it's great to have a different perspective. There's lots of really interesting child development research that I knew nothing about, but it's far from being a dry text book read. This is a book that should be essential for anyone working with young children or interested in Psychology, but it's not just for students or practitioners, it's a good read.
I'd recommend it to anyone without children and everyone with them! >>More Details |

I may have misread the title but this book is only useful prior to becoming a first-time parent and up until about four weeks old. After that, none of the revelations regarding communication will have meaning, well unless you chose not to interact with your newborn.
With a twelve week old, this book only served to confirm what I already knew, which was assuring if anything. In my opinion, it would benefit from photos of fussing, quiet active, tired and bored expressions of 6-10 week olds. And did this book really take 6 years to compile, or did I misread that as well? >>More Details |

Our girl is 4 weeks old. Early in the parenting process, we found there are two types of person; those who are 'do what the baby wants' people, and those who mostly want the baby to adjust to their life, rather than the other way round. If you are the first type - find another book. If you are the second - this has been an excellent guide for us. Within 4 weeks, our baby is almost always going 3.5 - 4 hours between feeds without complaining, and sleeps 5-6 hours at a stretch at night (much to the amazement of many of our friends). I would put a large part of this to following the advice of this book.

The Richest Man in Babylon: Now Revised and Updated for the 21st Centuryby: George S. Clason February 19, 2007 Best Selling > Books > Baby Development |

OK, so I'm young, i was foolish with my money, i have debts, and i have a low wage. My financial situation really wasn't looking too good. In fact it was getting worse and worse. This book has been my savour. Instead of trying to give you a load of get-rich-quick schemes, it gives you advice that is worth so much more than the price of the book, advice that ANYONE can apply to their everyday lives. This book doesn't tell you exactly where to put your money, but it tells you how to THINK about your money.
The even better thing about this book is that it is not a boring drabby book, it pleasantly tells you stories about different people, tells you about their problems with money and how they overcame them, and you learn from the morals of the story and then ... Read More: >>More Details |

I was given this memory book/box for my first child, and I have never seen one as good. There are ample pages to fill in with written memories and photos, and the box at the back is very handy. Big enough to hold the hospital bracelet, the booties he wore in hospital, and other various things. It has a magnetic lid so it stays shut.
For my second child, I got something else that has little mesh pockets inside it. It's just not as good. I'm thinking I will get this for my third child. I just wish they made this with a variety of covers so you can get different ones for each child. But, I can always personalize it. >>More Details |
