A child’s first steps are one of the great miracles in life—one we think of as a natural, essential, intuitive process. But just as new parents foster positive digestive, emotional, and intellectual growth, we cannot leave it to nature and instinct alone to ensure that infants develop the strong musculoskeletal foundation they need. Little bodies are malleable: nerves are elongating, bones are hardening, muscles are strengthening—newborns are a never-ending process of physical change. Broken down into three-month increments, Shaping Your Baby's Foundation gives new parents the information they need to safely and effectively build muscle tone, strengthen growing bodies, and set their newborns on the path for a lifetime of wellness. Written in Salas’ gentle and accessible, yet authoritative, voice, and aided by photographs and illustrations to guide parents step-by-step through the first year of life, Shaping Your Baby's Foundation is a revolutionary parenting bible for a new generation.
