I got these DVDs after having my second child Joel, and only wish they'd been around for my first baby! You actually do the exercises with your baby -- (Joel loves the action) so with these videos I kill two birds with one stone - I get my workout, and for my baby it's "playtime with mommy" (and he's normally ready for a nap right after).

*The only problem* was that Amazon never sends the DVDs (always out of stock??) - I ended up getting them directly from the infantastic website & they arrived in 3 days.

I suggest starting with the lighter exercises for the first couple of weeks, then working up to the more challenging stuff. I generally alternate between the strength/toning DVD (Baby-Reps) & the cardio/dance DVD (Dance-Baby-Dance), depending on my mood. Dance Baby Dance is a little too long for me still, but I'll build up to it. Great stuff - I recommend it!

I saw an article about these Infantastic DVD's in Parents Magazine, and now I have both "Baby-Reps" & "Dance-Baby-Dance" (I actually got them cheaper from the infantastic site when I got them for my friends later.) All I can say is *I LOVE THEM!*

I've seen all kinds of pregnancy videos & postpartum videos -- I have somewhat of a collection now that I have four kids -- and these top them all hands down. The workouts are definitely challenging, & you can get a good workout from a bunch of videos -- but it's the "bonding with baby" aspect that is so awesome with these. It's one of our favorite things to do together -- great way to lose that baby fat & have a blast with your new addition!!
They've got demo videos & lots more info on the infantastic site too. Highly recommended.

This is by far the best postnatal workout DVD I have seen. Three warm-ups, six cardio dance routines, one stretch and one slow dance work perfectly as a group or as an a la carte menu if you are short on time. I also like the fact that all the moves are VERY CLEARLY demonstrated BEFORE the actual dances, while you have an option to skip the demonstrations and go straight to the dances. It is a very well and smartly executed product. I also like the fact that all the dances are done, not in a gym, but in warm and pleasant home environments.

I had the same problem as everyone else in getting any of the Infantastic dvds from Amazon. I waited over two months, kept getting reassured that they were still coming, and then discovered one day that they had simply canceled my order without letting me know. Not only did no one ever offer to check with the company directly for the source of the problem or actual anticipated wait itme, but Amazon continues to post these items on their web site with a delivery date of 7-11 days, which is at best a misrepresentation, and at worst a complete lie because they are well aware that they can't provide the product at all at this point.

I don't really care whose fault it is that the product is never available - Amazon needs to stop posting these dvds for purchase until they are confident the orders can be filled in the time noted.

My baby and I just love this DVD. The dances are simple to learn, but they really burn off the baby fat. There is a good variety of music which is nice if we're in a particular mood- no excuses for not exercising! I also like that there are so many songs, giving us something to build up to; my baby and I still can't quite make it through all the dances. This DVD really makes exercise challenging and fun while bonding with my new baby- exactly what every new mommy needs!

This may be great a product, but you won't find out through Amazon. After waiting months and getting numerous postponement e-mails from Amazon, I finally cancelled my order. Although Amazon claims this DVD is available, I have a feeling I was never going to receive it. If you're interested, I suggest looking for another vendor.

I found it very difficult to find time to work out after I had my third baby. This DVD made it very easy (it's broken into segments so you can do as much or as little as your schedule allows) and my baby loves it. My older kids like to dance along too. I wish I had known about this workout much sooner.

I love this workout! You do have to wait until your baby can hold her own head, but you can do it on your own, as well. When my baby was finaly the right age (around four months) she was to heavy for me to hold, so she sits while I dance, and enjoys the video. She laughs out loud every time it starts, and giggles at the babies. I also use some of the steps while holding her when she gets fussy, and she loves it.

Honestly, I am saddened that Infantastic is out of business and i could not buy this new! I would honestly buy this for every pregnant friend I had if i could. It is a lot of fun and my 2 mos old baby loves it. It's fun to sing and dance with her and especially helps during her fussy periods. Highly recommend this product...too bad it is not as available as it used to be.

I purchased this DVD when my first daughter was born. We had lots of fun dancing this. She loved it and asked for it all the time. I would get a great workout and we both had lots of fun. We danced together since she was just a few weeks until she was around 2.5 and got way too heavy for me.

I'll definitely use this DVD with my newborn in a few more weeks.
