Here is a book whose reading can be useful for young parents who are not familiar with the babies. The strength of this book is to help us understand -and when one is in a situation, it is not always so évident- that must not be plated on babies of adult feelings: what is trivial for an adult can be a very fast too full of stimulation for a baby; tears that would express adult sadness or anger can express in the baby fatigue, too full of stimulation, needs help to get to sleep ... This book is valuable for understanding the baby talk, and not think that a baby needs to be entertained, stimulated, then he simply asks sleep. At the heart of the subject: the EASY routine (the baby wakes up, we feed it, then we play with him or you walk it, and after 2 hours of waking up, is the layer that rests). The implementation of this method helped me tremendously with my baby: it allows to structure the baby's days that manifestly better door, to bring him the number of hours of rest he needs, improve sleep the night and the day, and give Mom a beach recovery every 2 hours, which then allows it to be fully available for his child. For cons, I agree with comments that the style is annoying, and often condescending tone. I find further that some councils of the author are dramatic: their aim is to help parents manage the least tiring way for them, forgetting that a baby has the greatest need of looks, contacts, hugs ... The passage where she says he must leave the child in the park and not take it into the arms he claims the order to teach him independence leaves me speechless! Moreover, in the case of breastfed babies, it seems to me that at the start, breastfeeding should be the demand and very often if we want this to work, so that the routine starts in my opinion to be applicable as from the age of 2 months, not so before, contrary to what the author proposes. On the other hand, breast reassures the infant who has the greatest need for closeness with her mother when we read '' a happy child '' Margot Sunderland, Tracy Hogg's remarks seem even more inappropriate. There is a passage where she cites patronize a couple whose baby has no specific times to eat and sleep: and then! babies are not straight! The baby's needs are more important all the same, to me it seems that the schedule for adults!
So I think it is more about that nurse mum, and that the emotional aspect is not sufficiently taken into account, so all is not necessarily to be taken literally! but nevertheless, there still has things to be gained from reading this book; afterwards, everyone to his own opinion!
