 | April 26, 2006'Nanny Wisdom' reviewed by Kirkus"If you can't afford to hire Fran Fine to care for your little ones, get this entertaining and informative new book. Two true-blue British nannies have compiled everything they know about taking care of babies and tots. They encourage parents to establish a “regular routine and schedule.” The rhythms established in the first weeks and months of your baby’s life lay the foundation for sleeping, eating and play habits in the years to come. Routine is especially important when it comes to sleep—a child who takes regular naps throughout the day will actually sleep better at night. If napping doesn't do the trick, consider giving Junior a gold star each time he sleeps through the night. Healthy eating habits are also vital. Walsh and Nicholson include recipes for dishes that children and parents will both relish. The nannies offer plenty of practical advice, like how to give a bottle to a breastfed baby, and how to help a big sister or brother adjust to a new baby. But Walsh and Nicholson never lose sight of the simple basics. Above all, parents should be "loving, firm, and fun…every day." Mary Poppins couldn’t have put it better".
