Best Baby Classes
- Your baby can benefit from interactive classes as early as three months.
- An infant massage class is a great way to relax your baby and improve his sleep.
- Early exposure to music can make learning easier in the long run.
- Movement classes in the first years of life help give your child a positive association with physical activity.
nxious to get out of the house? Turns out, socialization (for both mom and baby) is just one of the benefits of doing classes with your infant. Here’s how to find the best class for you and your baby:
When to Start
A recent study at Queen’s University Belfast found that control of social attention starts around three months of age. From that point, children grow and develop different skills from a variety of interactive experiences.
That said, you can start taking mom and baby classes from the get go. If you’re worried about tackling your pregnancy weight, stroller-fit classes or indoor mom and baby exercise programs make fitness fun and often incorporate your baby into the routine. Mom and baby dance classes, like Baby Salsa, are another fun fitness option. Or, if you’re tired and your muscles are tight, try a mom and baby yoga class.
