Don’t worry if you think you’re a bit over-the-top with your dramatic reveals—your baby thinks you're hilarious.

Baby Yog
a: The Trend That Nurtures Souls and Sculpts Abs
If posing as a downward-facing dog was your jam pre-baby, you’ll be thrilled to know babies love it too. Baby yoga encourages bonding, fosters physical development, and adds just a sprinkle of zen you desperately need amid chaos.
Sensory Play: Because Everyone Loves a Little Mess
Messy play has never been this glamorous. Introducing your baby to different textures helps develop their sense of touch and understanding of the world. Think colorful mashed potatoes or a pot of gelatin with toys hidden inside. Place a mat under them if you’re fussed about the aesthetics.
And remember: Bath time is imminent, but at least you’ve secured a new social media pic entitled 'The Face of First Gelatin Encounter.'
The Musical Serenade: Baby DJ in the Making
Fact: Even babies need a killer soundtrack. From classical melodies to some pop beats, incorporate a bit of music into the daily routine. Encourage a mini dance party to stimulate those endorphins. Bonus points if you bring out the maracas and start a family band.
Moms, this is also a fabulous time for the 'Hairbrush Microphone' solo performance you’ve been rehearsing.
