Baby Yoga and Massage
It isn't hard to believe that two things you like to do, baby likes as well. Books, DVDs, and classes abound on bonding with baby through touch. Yoga and massage help the body function to its fullest potential, and what could be a better gift for your new and growing baby? Explore the offerings out there and see what fits with your personal style. Babies can't do all the yoga poses you can, so get instruction before trying out any poses on baby.
Many yoga DVDs and videos for Mom and baby include breathing and stretching as well as poses that cuddle baby on Mom's tummy, and some use babies as weights. Moms even do push-ups over their new little ones. Baby gets to do some stretches as well and finally end up in relaxation poses with Mom. What a great way to tighten up those postpregnancy abs and bond with baby!
