Baby Yoga
Baby yoga instructor Kristin McGee suggests a few poses for you and your baby to try out together.
• The Cobra Pose is done lying on your stomach with your hands at chest level. Press down into your hands to lift your head, neck and chest like a snake. This position is good for strengthening your little one’s arms and back muscles.
• The Cat/Cow is done on all fours if your baby is able to support himself. Arch your back and let your tummy fall to the floor. Look up to the ceiling, moo like a cow then round your spine. This is a great stretch for the back and stomach and is also good for strengthening arms and legs.
• In Downward Facing Dog, try lifting your hips high while your heels reach towards the floor. You'll get a great stretch behind the legs and you'll also develop strong arms and stomach muscles to hold yourself in the position.
• The Boat Pose is fun for mom and dad to do with the baby. Sit on the floor and lift your legs into the air as the torso moves back diagonally to the floor. Keep your knees bent and parallel to the ground and pick up little guy/girl and place him on your shins holding on to him at his waist. You'll develop a lot of core strength and your baby will have a fun ride.

I am a fan of your show. i just had a baby and my husband and I decided that I should stay home to care for the baby. I have been trying to locate Work from Home Jobs but was wondering if you have any suggestions on which are legitimate? I know that you respond to your e-mails so please help??? I am the type of woman that needs to be doing something or else I am going to go crazy.... Please help!!!
