Highly recommended follow on to the Contented baby book
Just as all other Gina books this one follows on fantastically from the Contented Baby book. Just as you start to worry about the toddler years here is the book with all the answers to keep you calm and confident. Very helpful book that Im constantly referring to for different stages of my sons development, filled with loads of advise and tips. My son is a happy confident toddler with a happy contented family around him, what more could you ask for!

Invaluable!
My daughter is a 1 year old contented little baby and having read this book I am confident that she will grow into a contented toddler.

So many of my questions about feeding and appetite, sleeping problems, tantrums etc have been answered by reading this. Armed with this knowledge I feel much better equipped to deal with the challenges of the toddler years ahead.

Our lifesaver!
This book has saved my husband and my sanity! Our twin daughters were running our household and this book helped us take control back and have routines that work so well for our family. Thank you Gina for an amazing book! We also loved the ideas on play, new babies and food. Thank you Gina for saving us and leading us to a more contented life.
