Gina Ford - I like your style


Have started reading Contented Little Baby book by Gina Ford (seen here looking very lovely), and, credit where it's due, the book is pretty darn good.


For a start, it's written in a no-nonsense style, full of her own prejudices and judgements, which she cheerfully acknowledges. Plus, it covers all the basics in terms of kit to buy (cots, sheets, nappies, mattresses) and what you can avoid shelling out on.


Ms Ford has written ten books, I think, so she certainly pops them out. Apparently she has not had kids of her own. Does that matter? You may scold a carpenter who has made you a bad table, though you cannot make a table. It is not your trade to make tables.
