Great!,
By Chris McKinstry (South America) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Water Baby: A First Fun Book of Water Skills (Hardcover)
Took a risk and bought this book before there were any reviews here. The book is great; very high quality. I was worried that it was only 48 pages... but they are 48 very well executed pages with amazing photographs and clear descriptions of the 9 month long water baby program.I am a Canadian living in Chile, and bringing a baby to the pool shocked the very conservative Chileans. But when they saw the pictures in the book, and my 2 month old son swimming underwater, suddenly all the babies in our condo were in the pool.

Stunning illustrations lead you and your little one on a step by step journey through an ifnant's first environment, water. Watch your clumsy helpless little bundle showoff his natural athletic ability, gain confidence, get exercise and stimulation and, most importantly re-learn responses to water which will keep him safe for life. Splash, squirm and kick your way into an even stronger bond with your baby through the course of each exercise in this delightful and informative book. (for babies from birth!)

Book is more suited for infants - not toddlers,

This review is from: Water Baby: A First Fun Book of Water Skills (Hardcover)
I loved the book to look at, but it was clear from the start that my son - who is nearly two - was already too old. I'm going to use it as a guide, somewhat, but wish I would have had it when he was still an infant. At 22 months he is relatively adept in the water anyway and at the same time old enough to have some typical water apprehension. The exercises are also not real appropriate for a toddler because they are just too wiggly. When he weighed less than 20 pounds it would have been much more feasible to do the steps but now at a strong 30 pounds and a mind of his own this isn't the best book for us. However, I intend to get this book for new moms. What a great shower gift!
