oh mayaness i wish i had of gotten my kidwrangling from the library too instead of spending money on it!!! it's interesting that your reading of UTD second time round was so different...no doubt i'll be in the same boat!

as for Pinky's stuff, well i dunno! i like her articles and find them really comforting and useful and go to her website alot, but when i read her 'sleeping like a baby' i kinda felt as though i was still being told what was best practice for a healthy, happy bub and if i did it wrong i was ruining her (even though i was pretty much following it all anyway). i guess i am just not one for parenting books yet....

that said i dont really think that my Pinky McKay recommendation should be under the same bracket as TH's book!! uurrghhhhhhh. so i apologise enormously for that!!!
