The Aimee's Babies Developmental DVD provides an abundance of information to new parents who want to give their baby the best start possible in life. Babies learn about the world from their senses.  This sensory-based 60-minute DVD is divided into seven segments: one segment for each of the senses below, plus an additional segment with detailed baby massage instructions.  Your new baby will take in a tremendous amount of information through her senses during her first year of life.  In fact, if a baby's senses are adequately stimulated, the weight of his brain actually DOUBLES by the end of the first year!

Touch/Massage
This segment explains why the sense of touch is so important.  It includes baby "stretches" that improve overall coordination and agility, and techniques to improve body awareness, spatial skills, and sensory processing.  Also included in this segment are complete, detailed, easy-to-follow instructions on the safe techniques of infant and baby massage.  At the end of the DVD is a separate 5-minute Baby Massage summary segment, which can be viewed in real time while you massage your baby.  The drumming music during the massage mimics the sounds of utero and helps to relax your baby.

Vision
During this crucial period of visual development, learn how to help your baby develop visual acuity (clear sight), as well as visual motor skills (eye movements), with structured exercises that will help make her a better reader in the future for better performance in school.
 

Hearing
Babies are born with a very acute sense of hearing. Learn how to use this sense to optimize your baby's brain development and lifetime learning potential.
 

Balance/Movement
A finely-tuned sense of balance will help your baby sit, crawl, and walk.  In the future, it will help him have better overall coordination skills to become a better athlete, dancer, and gymnast.  Learn exercises and tips to stimulate your baby's inner ear and build a strong foundation of balance.
 

Position in Space
An infant has no idea whether she is right-side-up or upside-down.  He doesn't know where his body stops and where Mommy's body starts.  Position in space is a learned skill, which you can promote in your baby by using the exercises in this segment.
 

Taste and Smell
Scents can actually improve your baby's brain function and help your baby be more relaxed or more alert.  Different foods can help your baby's speech development.  Learn more in this segment on taste and smell.
