Health visitor recommending Gina Ford for 5 month old

[MonsterArcade]

DS is five months. We have no routine, he still (breast)feeds on demand day and night. He probably feeds every 2/3 hours in the day (sometimes more frequently but shorter feeds) and will feed to sleep around 7pm. If he stays asleep from 7pm he will sleep through until 4am and have a night feed then. If he wakes up after 7pm he sometimes feeds at 10pm, 12pm and then 2am too. He feeds back to sleep.

Health visitor has said we need to start Gina Ford method and get him to a strict, established routine. My question really is, do I? I'd love more sleep but he's still little and it seems a tad extreme.

"Report the HV" for fuck sake

I'm a HV and hate Gina Ford. Don't inflict that on your poor baby.

She sounds crackers.

I fed my DS for 18 months. He never had a routine. Don't stress.

Maybe read it and see what your thoughts are. I still BF my DS and he’s 18 months old, feeds in the morning and at night. I’ve read many baby books but in the end went with the flow and my DS has guided me. All the books I’ve read have given me some sort of advice though so weren’t a complete waste
