My Active Baby: Infant Physical Activities for Motor Development, Therapy, and Sensory Play

This book is so great, so much information and the activities are great, I’m learning so much

I bought this book for my daughter; her baby girl is 8 months old. There are no baby activity classes because of COVID-19 and as a young mother at home she found it difficult to generate some useful activity by herself. But this book is actually helping them – our little princess is moving a lot more now, only after two weeks has passed. Exercises in this book are really practical and simple to follow. You can see that the author has good experience and knowledge, most importantly understanding of what are the common issues one can have when trying to help with baby’s development. My daughter looks a lot more relaxed too, now the she has this valuable help.

This book is a valuable gift for any new parent to teach them about baby’s brain and motor skill development, especially during the Covid era where baby classes are not easily accessible. The excercises in the book provide a fun way to spend quality time with your baby. I recommend it highly!

As a Physical Therapist, I really loved looking at the pictures and seeing the different exercises. These are all exercises I would use to treat babes. It’s really a nicely laid out book that isn’t overwhelming at all.It’s a perfect resource for new parents or a great gift for a PT student who wants to go into early intervention or has a pediatric clinical with infants. Really impressed by the author and her book.

I have very good connection with my son, he smiles a lot and makes me so happy. But after a visit to our family doctors regular check up I was told to do some exercises with him to help with physical development. He is very calm and relaxed and doesn’t move a lot. I checked my local bookstore but couldn’t find anything I would have tried but part of “My Active Baby” description felt right for me. Now when I have played with him and done these exercises I see the difference already – he started to turn and got more interested of his toys when I held these up in front of him, etc. I love how this book has been built up, on monthly basis. It has background information, a lot of knowledge and plenty of photos for easy following.
