Why is it called the mother and baby class?
We incorporate some exercises to be done separately with baby. These are specifically for baby, designed with the intension that baby benefits from tummy time positions, helping baby reach normal milestones a touch sooner. As well, these few exercises with baby are useful as a great distraction for babies if they are momentarily unsettled and should be used at these times at home. There is no doubt in my mind that they make a baby more capable learning head control and sitting, giving new mums confidence in handling a newborn. For the rest of the time during the course of the class you have baby next to you on the mat or baby could join the others on the play mat in the centre of the room.
