i have the following books in my mini Gina Ford library. but some are loaned out to goodness know who! so i need to get it back before i can lend it out again..
1. The Complete Sleep Guide for contented bbs & toddlers (available)
2. The contented little bb book of weaning (dunno when liao)
3. Gina Ford's top tips for contented bbs & toddlers (available)

5. The contented child's food bible (the complete guie to feeding 0 - 6 years old) (available)
6.The new contented little baby book (dunno when), (this is the recommended first time reading)
7.The contented toddler years (available)
kekeke.. all the key books lah. the sleep guide, the weaning and the contented little baby book are good recommended readings. even if u dun intend to practice the GF routine..
another book which i recommend is this..
the secrets of the baby whispherer by Tracy Hoggs
http://www.babywhisperer.com/babywhisperer.html
Tracy Hoggs has passed away but her book, this one in particular is still in print..
essientially, it is a flexible routine..E.A.S.Y schdule.. stands for Eating, Activities, Sleep and Your time..
not as rigid as Gina Ford.. but i did some studying on the routine and realise it is built on similar principles.. based on bb's sleeping patterns and such..
this book also attempts to classify bbs into 4 major types and describe the temperments.. Angel, Spirited, Grumpy, Touchy bbs. interesting read here.. got a test to guage ur bb.. ha. in the earlier months. teng was so difficult, i thought he was a grumpy and touchy mixed.. turns out once i establish GF routine.. he is an Angel/touchy bb..
intereting read also. maybe more suited to pple who would like more freedom.. got a segment on cues and identifying the bbs cries. i tried. but i think teng bascially bellows all the time lah..
wah liew..
