I haven't read it, but I positively hate the feedback that I get from 
parents about it (they are very happy though). It is about swaddling. 
The title translates into 'Order and swaddling. prevention and curing 
of crying and unsettledness'.

I'll give you a quick translation of the information on the site you 
gave:
'A valuable book with practical advise to prevent ánd cure 
unstettledness, too much crying and little sleep in young children. 
It is not only aimed at parents and carers, but also at anyone who 
professionally deals with children. Based on years of experience as 
self-employed family nurse Ria Blom gives her insights and methods 
that lead to a quic result that stop the spiral of unsettledness. The 
basis of rearing, as the author describes it, is predictable order in 
the day pattern and clearness - a blessing for any child. "love 
without boundaries' will in many cases be changed into 'loving 
boundary's and a  'more of less' pattern. Apart from predictable 
order some children need firm boundaries by swaddling, to stop the 
unvoluntary movement of arms and legs. Only then does sleep get a 
change. This way the quality of eating, playing and sleeping ofthen 
changes within a day."

I guess Gonneke will give you her views on this book, too...
