Book Reviews of Baby Om: Yoga for Mothers and Babies
Book Review: Good book for mom
Summary: 4 Stars
I loved this book for postpartum yoga - it has a special section for cesarean moms, which was the reason I bought it. It has series of gradually increasing challenge, which I also like. However, I found it WAY too hard to incorporate my baby at first. Having a c section, it was hard enough to get in and out of the poses. Also, my newbron needs lots of attention and its hard to relax and focus on myself. Maybe this will change with time. Also, in terms of the baby interactions segments of each series, Baby Om was a little demanding of its babies - these sections included a full body massage and several exercise movements all in one sequence, and encouraged the mom to "keep trying" when baby resisted - my baby did not like this. I prefer Itsy Bitsy Yoga for baby yoga, as it gives very useful tips (such as going slow, stopping if baby is unhappy, etc) and offers different poses based on small developmental steps. A great book for moms, especially c section moms, but not the best for baby in my opinion.Book Review: Excellent for new mothers and yogis
Summary: 4 Stars
This books is a great complement to the yoga pregnancy books. Once you have had your baby you can get back to your practice or start a new yoga practice. The book presents 4 classes for different stages of the baby's growth or mother's ability to move. In general, it is also a good introduction to yoga with basic introductory chapters. I am an expectant mother and yoga teacher trainee. I am planning on using this material as soon as I get certified and start teaching my prenatal and postnatal classes.Book Review: Fun for baby
Summary: 4 Stars
My baby has a lot of fun doing the exercises with me. A great way to spend quality time with your little one.Book Review: HARD TO READ
Summary: 1 Stars
By the time I was done reading an excersice and trying to figure out what they meant, my baby was crying and screaming on the yoga mat. This book is very hard to understand. If I was doing the Yoga by myself I wouldn't mind taking a bit of time to figure out what they mean, but with a baby it is a totally different story. Bottom line this book was not written with mother and baby reading in mind.
