PICK OF THE MONTH BY EDITOR OF ePREGNANCY MAGAZINE STIMULATE YOUR BABY WITH BABY BE LOVEDS DAY-BY-DAY ACTIVITIES

Growing and Learning Together During the First 24 Weeks, Baby Be Loved Offers Activities, Songs, Exercises and Graphics

Mountain View, California - (November 2002) - All new parents want the best for their children, and would like to do everything possible to ensure that they get off to the right start. But, as a new parent, its so easy to get overwhelmed by the mountain of information and products that claim to make your baby smarter or better.

Infant development experts have found that the key to stimulating emotional and intellectual growth in your child is your own behavior--what you do, how you respond, and how you interact with your baby. Children do not need expensive toys to become smarter. What they need most is loving and nurturing care with new activities to stimulate them. Children learn by doing. By providing experiences that stimulate your babys senses and encourage interaction with their surroundings you are also providing nourishment for your babys mind.

Playing, talking, singing, reading, cuddling and other nurturing activities are all experiences that stimulate brain development. And they are all free! Not only do these interactions strengthen their learning connections, it also deepens the parent-child bond.

The solution: A Readers Digest" of great parenting information, in bite-size pieces, compiled from a wide array of authoritative sources... and organized into a quick paragraph or two per day, for the first six months of life. Baby Be Loved: Growing and Learning Together During the First 24 Weeks offers activities, songs, exercises and graphics.

BABY BE LOVED                           page 2

Filled with fun, easy, and free activities, each tied to the appropriate developmental stage day-by-day and week-by-week, the book emphasizes the ways a loving, active environment can increase your babys emotional, intellectual, physical and social development. Each weeks suggestions fit on a page, and the entire book can be hung like a calendar. Each week also offers a full-page, developmentally appropriate illustration for stimulating babys vision.

Baby Be Loved (ISBN 0-9705242-0-X, $19.95), was compiled and designed by Susan Ann Stelfox out of her own need at not finding a one-stop source during those precious, vital weeks-when she became a first-time new mom at age 40. Stelfox, a breast cancer survivor, had built prodigious research skills in her quest for information about her disease, and used those skills to absorb and organize everything about new-baby development. All of the information was analyzed and endorsed by pediatrician Nancy Iverson, M.D.

This 24-week glossy calendar features bold, bright illustrations appropriately stimulating to newborns and is packed with a wide variety of daily ideas for interacting with your baby. Perfect for hanging over the changing table, or anywhere you spend a lot of time with your infant, this calendar would also make an excellent shower or new-baby gift."
