Book Reviews of Itsy Bitsy Yoga: Poses to Help Your Baby Sleep Longer, Digest Better, and Grow Stronger
Book Review: Great resource for parents
Summary: 5 Stars
This book was easy to use, even for a sleep deprived, new mom. The moves really helped my son.Book Review: Love Itsy Bitsy Yoga
Summary: 5 Stars
This book gave me several yoga sequences to use with my baby right away! He loves the sequences and has fun with it. I feel the book is easy to use and straight forward with the approach. It gives good pictures to guide you as well as written directions for each pose. My baby was premature and the postures have really helped him with core strength, coordination and body orientation. I noticed right away that he would mimic the postures on his own. The physician says that my baby doesn't look premature in his posture or development, I'm sure the sequences in Itsy Bitsy Yoga have helped him. As a yoga teacher for 10 years I highly recommend this book to get your little yogi started. Book Review: Interaction Ideas
Summary: 5 Stars
This book has great ideas to play and interact with your baby. I really love the special section that has recommendations for Dad's to bond with the baby. This book helped me comfort my baby while she was suffering from digestion issues.Book Review: It works
Summary: 5 Stars
The divine drops, are true "magic" pose as the book suggests! This book is a must for parents of infants, especially if they have colic.Book Review: I really did not want to like this book
Summary: 4 Stars
Okay, when I picked this book up, I rolled my eyes and thought, "oh brother." As if there aren't enough things for a baby to learn. But I was curious about the activities that the book would provide so I read through it anyway. I admit I was skeptical from the start. I'll tell you that this book is chock FULL of self promotion and I found that incredibly irritating. More than half of this book is just trying to convince the reader how wonderful yoga is, especially itsy bitsy yoga. Fine. I got it. Yoga is good. Itsy Bitsy Yoga is better. I do understand alot of yoga is the mind set (which is a topic beaten like a dead horse in this book), but I'm gonna tell you, I'm a mom of a toddler and a baby, and I just don't have time for the "tranquility" of yoga. I wish I did, but I don't. I have to be a pretty flexible lady. (no pun intended) I just want some activities I could personally do with my 9 month old and my 2 year old. When you get past all the cheerleading in the book, the activities are terrific. They are personal, and simple, and fun to do. And like the book states (over and over) you can spend as much time as you can afford with the "poses." The book itself is easy to follow and have some terrific tips to add along with the poses (like songs and variations, etc) They have plenty of photos, and the book is divided by major milestones instead of ages. At the end of each chapter is a quick reference of what poses work for whatever situation you are in. That is so handy. I really like this book as a reference guide. This book is meant for children from birth to 24 months, so I took a quick glance into the older tot chapters to see what they were like. When my oldest was between 1 and 2 years I don't think she would've copied what I did, nor would she have done any poses with encouragement, so I checked out how you were supposed to interact with the older set. Alot of the poses for the older kids still have parental interaction (which I think she would've liked) so I think this is a pretty realistic guide on what your child can and would want to do (since kids can be so different). There is nothing extreme (yoga-wise) in this book, and if you can't make your home have a nice tranquil atmosphere, alot of the poses can be done in a playful way. So as much as I don't like the writing in the book, I really liked the poses.
