I read the book before I had Olivia and just the "tone" was enough to put me off, to be honest! I personally found the authors approach fairly patronising: I recall she even timetables when Mum should make a cuppa, LOL!!

As soon as Olivia arrived the books gathered dust and I just followed Olivia's lead........she was a contented baby all by herself without me doing any of the strict routines that the book suggests.

I then re-read it again, and with new Mummy eyes, I honestly found her approach appalling for me and my babies.....there was no way I could follow it........

I have since had Charlie and Lexie. All 3 of my babies have been what others would call "easy" in as much as they sleep and feed very well. I really believe they are this "easy" as I follow their cues, not a timetable or a stopwatch......

My suggestion would be to borrow a copy, read it, and see what your GUT reaction is........that will most likely tell you if it is the style of parenting you feel you can happily adopt.......

HTH........
