Hi there

Out of the books you mentioned I have read:

Gina Ford - found it very regemented and to strict however, I did read the summary table at the suggested feed and sleep routine for certain age and they were helpful.

Tracy Hogg - have her book, read it when I was pregnant with my first child, and we did do the basic's she mentioned, feed, play sleep routine.

For reference books I totally recommend Robyn Barker both Babylove and The Toddler one too, every helpful if you have a question that needs to be answered in the middle of the night.

I found Miriam Stoppard interesting too to read.

I have Raising Girls book and honestly I didnt like the way it was written but everyone is different.

Loved Pinky McKay! - cannot recommend her high enough!
