It's a very informative book and I'm enjoying reading it Ir tells you how to prepare your home for the newborn and then toddler, some montessori activities for babies, talks about gross motor development, and how to put the montessori method in practice. A great companion for new parents. I received a free digital copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for my honest review

The Montessori Baby is a great guide for implementing age-appropriate Montessori principles with babies. It's a great way to raise little ones in a gentle and nurturing way and connect better as babies are learning to communicate.
Many thanks to Workman Publishing Company and NetGalley for the advance copy.

I really enjoyed reading the Montessori baby. I was really able to take some of the reccomendations that were given and watched right before my eyes my 1 year old son grow and learn. We have since cut down screen time and he now does very well playing independently and have been able to minimize toys and have base toys that can be used in many ways. Something I initially had a hard time doing was talking and asking my for my child's consent to change his diaper but I was amazed to see how much more of a bond we made. I am going to be getting this in a hard copy as well as the Montessori toddler which my sister reccomended to me over a year ago and I see myself also giving this as a baby shower gift!

I've been intrigued by the Montessori method and this book was clear and very informative. I love the fact that's not only theory, but it gives practical tips as well! I find that this book will be such a great resource to new mamas or soon-to-be-mom, even if they're not going to practise this method 100%.

This is an absolutely beautiful book. I loved the Montessori Toddler, so I was thrilled to read this new book for babies. It is full of fantastic ideas, advice, and tips all through the Montessori education method to help the development of a baby. This is a treasure for all families. Many thanks to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for the advanced copy.

I'm not a baby mama yet, but I was eager to read this book as a way of preparing to become one. It gave me so much peace of mind, joy and inspiration!

I've always found the Montessori principles intriguing but ambiguous, so this book made them very clear and straightforward for me. It's actually really comprehensive. The book starts by laying out what the Montessori education is in detail, followed by a chronological guide from conception to the baby's first six weeks of life (perfect for a mama still in preparation!). This rich guide also contains information on how to prepare your home, how to think of yourself as a parent, and finally the juiciest part - the activities for babies as they grown, from language to movement, music and more. It's packed with practical tips.

In other words, this book had everything I needed to know (and didn't even know it) before I even started to try for a baby!

What's more, they layout and graphics are great and easy to read. Even better - not too complicated to apply.
