I visited Contentedbaby.com site shortly after my baby's birth. There, I found the support of a talented and dedicated team of experts. The Contentedbaby.com team of experts has answered and addressed my queries with an outstanding level of professionalism and care (as if they were there with me; supporting and helping me)!
I have also received incredible support from the other mums, benefitting from their experience. I really feel deeply grateful for all this, and hopefully one day I will be able to help another mum in need.
I am so surprised by some of the harsh criticism the book and the website have received; this book and this website are nothing but the work of passion, dedication, huge experience and love for little ones. The assistance I have been getting (and I definitely know I am not alone to think this) through the pages of the book or the emails on the site have been second to none. |

I just want to start off by saying a huge thank you to Gina Ford!! Her books and this website have been my salvation.
I really thought I would never get my baby to sleep. I was convinced that I would have sleepless nights for the rest of my life, so I decided to get tough and follow Gina's routines to the letter when my son was about two and a half months old.
I can't even imagine what life would be like now, had I not found Gina. My son is so happy now and has even started sleeping two hours at his lunch time nap which I thought was impossible for our baby.
I would recommend her books and this website to anyone. If it works for my baby, believe me, it can work for anyone! |

I had heard about the Contented Little Baby Book through a friend of my sister's; after I had read it I decided to follow the routines pretty early on in my pregnancy!
We started as soon as we got home from hospital and Edward fitted into the routines well. It was only when I couldn't work out what to do when he started waking up close to 7am, hungry, at about 6 weeks, that I wondered if there was any on-line support. Imagine my delight when I found the Contented Baby Community! I was able to find out what to do immediately from previous posts and ever since I have been an avid fan.
Gina's routines are so effective; as many other members say, no one can believe how cheerful and outgoing Edward is.
I log on to the site far more often than can be good for my health; my husband often asks me how my "virtual friends" are. I have just started work again, and although I am trying to be strict with myself, I think the forums are going to give me even more support than ever now that I'm combining motherhood and work. |

I'd just like to say how helpful and supportive the website has been.
I read the CLBB during pregnancy and said 'Thank God!' someone who doesn't seem to think you ought to give up your entire life and resign yourself to broken nights and demand feeding for a year or more.
I strongly believed that babies needed gently guiding into routines and that by doing this from an early age, you would help them grow up into contented and confident children.
Now with a 3-month-old son I can say I have found the book and the website incredibly supportive. I have tried various other groups and bulletin boards but in nearly all cases I have found that my choice to bottle feed, put baby in his own room at 3 weeks, set up a routine at 4 weeks and refusing to demand feed etc has been given the 'raised eyebrows' response.
Thank heavens for Gina and sticking to my guns; I now have a baby who has 5 feeds a day at regular times and more or less sleeps through from 7-7 with a feed at 11.30pm. I'm looking forward to her support and the support of all the other wonderful members on here when we get to weaning! |

I decided to try my daughter on Gina's routine when she was 7-weeks-old. My husband had already been away for two out of a three-week business trip and I needed help. I live thousands of miles from family and don't know too many people with babies. It was such a scary time for me - dealing with this overwhelming responsibility of caring for a tiny precious baby that you love so dearly and not having your husband with you. I didn't have the time to read Gina's entire book, so I just read it in stages. It felt like Gina believed in me and if I stuck to her routines everything would work out just fine. In just one week, and the night before my husband returned from his business trip, our daughter was sleeping from 7pm-7am Gina's confidence in her routines encouraged me to not give up. She was a great source of strength and comfort to me and enabled me to have confidence in my ability to parent a very contented baby.
When I discovered Contentedbaby.com I was just thrilled. I love how involved Gina and her team are with the site. It's also wonderful for me to get support and answers to questions from people who really understand the routine. It truly is invaluable to me. It's also very comforting to know that as my baby and family grows, I will have this incredible support.
Thank you Gina and the entire team. |

My son was 6-months-old when I introduced him to the CLB routines as a result of appalling sleeping and eating habits (feeding every hour and sleeping no longer than 2 hours at a time). I had read the CLB book while I was pregnant and had been determined to put the routines in place right from early on. However when I bought Sam home I was so overwhelmed and so unsure about what I should be doing, that when the midwife came to see me and saw the book on the table and had a real go at Gina, I just caved when she said follow your baby's lead, he knows when he needs to sleep and eat. In retrospect it was the worst thing I could have done and lead to 6 months of hell. He is now a very contented baby; he eats well, sleeps well, loves new places, new people and new experiences, and I put this all down to the CLB routines. I joined the website at the same time as I started the routines and it has been an absolute lifesaver. Because Sam was already 6 months when I started, it was a very hard 3 or 4 weeks to get him settled in, and without the encouragement, support and advice I have received from the website, I would never have made it through to the wonderful place we are now. The CLB routines have given me the time and energy to enjoy being with my baby; so much so that I am now thinking: maybe we should start planning baby number 2 (whilst in the first 6 months I swore: "never again!") |
