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, it’s so easy to get overwhelmed by the mountain of information and products that claim to make your baby smarter or better.

 

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: Baby Be Loved: Growing and Learning Together During the First 24 Weeks offers activities, songs, exercises and graphics.  Filled with 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 is 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 baby’s emotional, intellectual, physical and social development. Each week’s 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 baby’s 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.
