invaluable for the right type of person Our girl is 4 weeks old. Early in the parenting process, we found there are two types of person; those who are 'do what the baby wants' people, and those who mostly want the baby to adjust to their life, rather than the other way round.

Absolutely brilliant A wonderful book that doesn't make you feel like you have to run a military exercise to bring up a new baby.

Highly recommended
