The New Contented Little Baby Book: The Secret to Calm and Confident Parenting

Product Information

Even though I was breastfeeding the author suggests introducing one bottle feed in the late evening (that dad can do) between 2-4 weeks old. A friend of mine read it and declared she was either going to burn it or give it to me if I was curious. If you are reading this blog post I am assuming that you have at least heard of The Contented Little Baby and it has piqued your interest enough to read my post. A few other bits of information that we have found to be useful is the methods for making sure our little one is fully awake when feeding.

Wow… this book is a bunch of some old-fashioned rubbish from someone who doesn’t have the emotional competence to advise parents.This is a book that’s meant to explain how routines can ultimately benefit your child and your entire family.

That being said, there were still key concepts that I found helpful and have incorporated into my routines, like starting the bedtime routine around 6 pm, treating all feedings before 7 am as nighttime feedings, not picking up the baby immediately when she wakes from naps if he/she isn't complaining, and giving a bottle of expressed milk at the 10/11 pm feeding.Please don't misunderstand me, she never frowns on it directly and there are entire sections dedicated to it, but since this style of parenting accounts for every detail, not knowing how much a baby has eaten doesn't quite fit with that model. It is a guide and you don’t need to lose your fucking mind if you cannot follow it exactly or you slip a little. I ignored the haters and tried to go by this book anyway because my husband wanted to, but they were right. Bu kitap sayesinde ilk aydan beri bebeğimin gece ve gündüz uykuları düzenli, banyo rutinimiz, günlük rutinimiz, beslenme rutinimiz uyum içinde.
