My openness to Fordian thinking began a long time ago, when I was a student in New Zealand and my part time job was being a mother’s help to newborn babies in a posh part of town. For those readers who say that the author’s routines and suggestions are “cold,” this isn’t a how-to book on providing your child with what it wants on-demand, and if that seems harsh then it’s just not your style. This is a book that’s meant to explain how routines can ultimately benefit your child and your entire family. 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. The book has some immensely helpful info about breastfeeding, such as, "Babies between one week and six weeks usually need at least 30 minutes to reach the hind milk." (p. 53) And "If you change breasts too soon he will end up getting too much fore milk, which is one of the main causes of babies never seeming satisfied and suffering from colic." (p 56) "If he is fed enough during the day he will be much more likely to got to sleep for longer periods between feeds in the night." (p 57) The book also discusses the popular societal trend for bottle-feeding and formula feeding that "became well established in the fifties and sixties..." And this was quite helpful info, since our baby's grandmothers were keen to formula-feed, while my choice was to exclusively breastfeed. Olumsuz yorumlara kulak asmamanızı öneririm. Öncelikle hangi kitabı okursanız okuyun her bebeğin farklı olduğunu unutmamak gerekir. Dolayısıyla kendi bebeğinizi tanıyıp Ford’un yöntemleriyle harmanlarsanız bence başarı elde etmemeniz mümkün değil.
It seems that the benefits brought about by these books could be somewhat akin to a placebo - if reading this book gives you confidence or reassures you then it can't do any harm. I think that this approach probably isn't for me - if I had a better memory and could internalize the "golden rules" then perhaps I think there may be some sense in there. As it is, I expect the book would cause more stress in trying to remember things than any possible benefit. I'll probably read the excruciatingly titled "Baby Whisperer" next. I think Gina Ford's perspective is skewed by the fact that she is a professional who gets called in for children with problems. Therefore, she thinks ALL children will develop problems if they don't follow her routine. I think that's as silly as thinking that every child who eats sweets will develop diabetes. Babies are individuals, and they all have different personalities. Trying to fit them all into one little box is ridiculous.Weaning your baby on to solid foods is one of the most important milestones during the early months of parenthood, and Gina's expert advice on weaning makes a baby's transition from milk to solid foods as straightforward as possible. Successful weaning establishes a pattern of healthy eating in babies, avoiding the pitfalls of fussy eaters restricted to a narrow diet.
Whether you are expecting your first child, or are experiencing difficulties with an older baby, this comprehensive guide contains all the expert guidance you need to help your baby feed and sleep well. Read more Details

This book saved me and my relationship with my first born. My mother and mother in law loved this book. They cared for their own babies in a very similar way and it made sense to them. By creating routines that match a growing baby's innate natural rhythms, Gina prevents the hunger, overtiredness and colic that can lead to excessive crying. Babies who are settled into Gina's gentle routines are happy and contented because their needs for food and sleep are appropriately met and they should sleep for their longest spell at night from an early age. Kitap önce bebek için ne almanız gerektiğni, bebeğinizi ne sıklıkla beslemeniz gerektiğini, emzirme pozisyonu ya da biberonla beslemeyi tercih ettiyseniz biberonla bebeği besleme pozisyonu gibi bölümler içeriyor. Sonrası da bebeğin uyksunu, yeme düzenini ve alışkanlıklarını anlamaya yönelik bölümler ve sık sorulan sorular içeriyor. İlerleyen bölümlerde ise 12. Aya kadar her ay için saat saat örnek rutin programı var. Son olarak ise bebeklerin karşılaştığı problemlerden bahsediliyor. Now... I have a 4 month old baby boy, and I am constantly receiving compliments about how happy, contented and well behaved he is. He has already been on 4 transatlantic flights and hardly made a peep for any of them. And guess what.... there isn't a single shred of routine in his life! He sleeps when he's tired. He eats when he's hungry. He plays in between.... and we are all getting on just fine. I knew when to leave them, when to go to them and when to know that today, it wasn’t going to go according to plan.
