I love Gina but....... - Rated
Both my girls are Gina babies. They have both slept through from 6 weeks, eat whatever is put infront of them and happy and contented. I bought this book assuming that it would be as straight forward a the routines. It isn't. I'm sure that for many it would work however after ticking all the boxes, many months of preparation and an intensive week (my husband and I both took the week off work) my 2yr old couldn't care less if she has an accident.

If your child is ready to be potty trained this book WILL work!!!!! - Rated
I bought this book when my daughter was 2, and I felt under pressure (from other mums) to start potty training. Using Gina Ford's easy to understand criteria, it was clear that she was no where near ready to potty train. When she was 2 and a quarter we looked at the book again and I gave it a go. In 3 days we were both totally stressed out and I decided it was time to go back to nappies. 6 weeks ago (aged 2yrs 9 months), she fulfilled all the criteria - following the instructions in the book she was completey dry in 4 days (has had two accidents since then) and completely clean in 3 weeks. This book does work BUT it's crucial to follow Gina Ford's guidance on "readiness" (can they tell wet from dry, can they dress and undress themselves without your help, can they follow simple instructions). If your child isn't ready, it will take much longer than a week.... oh, and YOU have to be ready too!!!!!!

A week, plus many months preparation! - Rated
I bought this book in high hopes of seeing the end to nappies. However it has not worked yet for either my son of 2 or daughter of 2 1/2. We tried with both of them on different occaisions, but my daughter just held her wee in until she was allowed of the potty, while my son was begging for his nappy within 30 minutes!

Really worked after all else had failed! - Rated
I put off buying this because I assumed that it would be too strict for me being a Gina Ford guide. But after all else failed I bought it. I followed the guide (which isn't strict at all) and my daughter was indeed 'potty trained in one week' Is full of lots of useful tips and examples that make it easy to understand.
We haven't looked back since!

An excellent source of great advice on potty training - Rated
My 2.5year old daughter was potty trained in less than a week. From this book I learned how to make sure that she was infact ready to start potty training and followed Gina's techniques and advice. Potty training was a lot easier than I expected it to be. In this book you will find a wealth of tips, suggestions, practical solutions and many stories of how some problems were overcome.
