“What a welcome counterpoint to those books that drown you in structured activities, making you feel like you’re supposed to constantly entertain your baby. Toss ’em and pick up this simple guide to the natural activities that make the biggest difference for your baby.”
“When our daughter was born, my partner and I both wanted to be informed & knowledgeable, but that’s a hard job when the internet is full of conflicting and sometimes bad advice (and you don’t want to spend your first weeks and months with your child searching for trustworthy information)! This book was exactly what we needed to feel confident and up-to-date in our new parenting adventure. The research-based, concise explanations were great, but even better were the recommendations of what we can do with our daughter to encourage her own new discoveries and have fun along the way.”
“I love all of the simple, fun ideas for play and interaction. Just like any other adult, I tend to see things for what they are (e.g., blocks are for stacking, books are for reading, etc.), and I have a hard time thinking outside the box.”

Whether you’re a first time parent or a seasoned one, the journey through the first year of parenthood is not easy! There’s a way to feel confident you can support your baby, and it’s a mixture of science and art.
Fundamental to your ability to support your child through all the trials and tribulations of life is understanding him or her at each stage. This book gives you peace of mind you have everything you need, either attached to you or in your home, to support and connect with your baby: what would it be worth to you to know you aren’t just “winging it,” and that you have the tools — and know how to use them?
“This book is authoritative yet approachable: Ayelet combines her professional knowledge with her personal experiences as a mom. You can hear her straightforward, warm voice as you read. Refreshingly, she doesn’t advocate one “right” way to parent, nor does she claim that her book is an all-encompassing guide. It’s quality over quantity: The book isn’t gimmicky, nor does it push the “latest” learning toys. It’s all about how to have simple, high-quality interactions. You don’t need to be crafty or rich to play any of the games, phew. It’s formatted to be a week-by-week guide: Follow along one week at a time and there are helpful bonus materials, too.”
“This curriculum teaches us ways to be more attuned to our baby, how to be more responsive. You’re helping us nurture our baby’s vagus nerve so they can feel safe and connected and are better equipped to handle the stressors of life well. You’re creating this incredible ripple effect that’s creating a better world one baby at a time.”
“As a life coach for moms, I’m always looking for resources to share with my clients to help them manage and enjoy motherhood. This book is definitely going on my list! Understanding Your Baby is well-organized, researched, and written so parents can easily get great information based on their children’s ages. It’s filled with fun activities and ideas on how parents can engage, play, and encourage their children’s development.”
