Just the thing to distract me from reading about childbirth and all the things that can go wrong...<BR/><BR/>Flying Kiwi: It must be a sign of a good book if you found it interesting even if it wasn't relevant to you. Or perhaps you read it while a friend was pregnant and you wanted to know what she was going through?Violethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10547452802344363142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6085694.post-1112730486174455322005-04-06T07:48:00.000+12:002005-04-06T07:48:00.000+12:00I've even read Kaz Cooke's Up the Duff, and I've n...I've even read Kaz Cooke's Up the Duff, and I've never even been up the duff.flying kiwihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15612443077127662318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6085694.post-1112685607049846632005-04-05T19:20:00.000+12:002005-04-05T19:20:00.000+12:00Discussing parenting books and theories can get ex...Discussing parenting books and theories can get extremely fraught. I found it quite eye opening to read the reviews of different parenting books on Amazon. But I'll go out on a limb and say I found some stuff from the Baby Whisperer helpful. I also used the Contented Little Baby for some things though, be warned, the tone is a tad off putting (Gina Ford, the author is known as the NAzi Nanny in some circles).<BR/><BR/>I don't have the Baby Whisperer but I can lend you the Contented Little Baby book and also a book called Healthy Sleep Habits, Healthy Child which I found quite worth reading, if you are interested.Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04797661728002935006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6085694.post-1112678880324518362005-04-05T17:28:00.000+12:002005-04-05T17:28:00.000+12:00EB: I don't know why you deleted your comments, bu...EB: I don't know why you deleted your comments, but luckily they still ended up in my email inbox.
