Babies, unlike new cars, don't come with a manual. There are always plenty of people, each with their own unique advice, happy to stick an oar in on whatever parenting issues you're facing, but I have often found as a mum that I'm left confused and floundering, wondering which piece of conflicting advice is least likely to permanently damage my little ones! I've watched Supernanny. I've read about how to have a contented baby. So seeing this book, with such a nice, positive title, I had to give it a go!

Although it isn't full of jargon, there are some key phrases and ideas that sometimes felt a little uncomfortable as I read, like the language you get in management textbooks, but it wasn't too awful, and didn't put me off reading. I'm not sure it's made any significant impact on my parenting skills as yet, but there were certainly some interesting ideas that I've stored away in my head, ready to use as required!
