Vermilion The Complete Sleep Guide For Contented Babies & Toddlers

I read the book and tried to follow the advice realizing that it is a satire on the western society 😁

Onestamente avevo delle aspettative molto alte per questo libro, considerando tutte le recensioni. Onestamente non ho trovato rimedi / consigli utili per il mio caso (mia figlia ha 15 mesi): non so a questo punto se bisogna cominciare da subito altrimenti il metodo non funziona. Questo libro è però focalizzato solo nel sonno dei bimbi: può essere che quello generale abbia un approccio diverso o magari l’abbinamento cibo/nanna (come consigliato da lei) funzioni meglio

Rien de nouveau. Decue

My son struggles when bedtime comes, and he awakes several times at night. There must be something that I did wrong but I just did t know what to do. Thanks god I read this book. It does help me solve the sleeping problems little by little. Although sometimes my son still wakes up during the night or early waking in the morning, but it's much better than before.If you have the same problem with me, I recommend this book, it is definitely worth reading.

When our little boy was about 6 weeks old we realised we had a problem with his sleep during the day. He would not nap unless he just fell alseep on one of us. We had somehow fallen into that trap and now if we put Harry in his cot during the day he screamed the house down! We were first time parents and didn't really know much about getting our baby to sleep during the day and it was becoming a problem. When should we put him down for a sleep? How long should he sleep during the day? These were the kind of questions we had. We had a look on amazon at books about babies and sleep and 'The Complete Guide For Contented Babies and Toddlers' seemed to be the one that was going to answer all our questions. We had heard of Gina Ford and were slightly sceptical but we thought we would give it a go. It was a brilliant decision. The book arrived and not only did it help us solve Harry's daytime sleep problems, but it helped us to understand his sleep patterns and needs much better. It is also very iteresting!The book gives you an outline of how much sleep a baby needs and how that sllep should ideally be divided up across the day and night. It also offers reasons for why certain length sleeps should take place and certain times, the importance of a bedtime routine and explains about babies sleep cycles. Once you have taken on all of this information it helps you to structure your baby's sleeping. For many new parents this is something that would be incredibly useful. The book then splits up into 0-6 months, 6 - 12 months 12 - 24 months and then 2 - 3 years and looks at what to expect with sleep at this age, what to aim for, common sleeping problems and case studies.It also deals with sleep associations and sleep training. It recognises the emotional difficulty that sleep training creates and advises certain situations when it would not be a good idea to sleep train. It then outlines 5 different approaches to sleep training and recommends minimum ages or each approach.It is a book that I have referred to time and again since I bought it and imagine it will come in handy over the next couple of years. you do not need to follow Gina Ford's routines to get use out of this book but it does form part of the 'Contented Little Baby' series. I have to say this book then did lead to me buying the 'Contented Little Baby Book' and using Gina's routines and I would throughly recommend all of her books as they are excellent.Please don't be put off because you think you won't like Gina Ford based on what you have heard people saying about her routines. If you are having trouble with your baby's sleeping then this book is fantastic. You never know you might find that Gina Ford appeals to you once you start reading it. That happened to me :)People often comment on how well Harry sleeps and how he can settle himself to sleep no problem and it is because of the advice we got from this book we were able to help him become a sleeper like this!
