“You are absorbing more in a single day than your grandparents processed in a month. Notifications, opinions, outrage, disasters, advertisements, noise…

Your nervous system was not built for this.”

What helps regulate and calm the nervous system?

• Touch, hugs and massage — parents need this too!
• Travel time filled with conversation, laughter and music
• Time in nature, walking and free play
• Quiet time for drawing, reading and creating
• Deliberate tech-free periods in your day
• Nutritious, nourishing food
• Plenty of clean drinking water
• Good-quality sleep, with minimal light at night.

BABYGYM IS FOR YOUNG BABIES

Did you know that BabyGym 2: Firm Foundations is designed for young babies, starting as early as 6 weeks old?

Why? Because we believe in prevention rather than cure. By mimicking nature's flawless design and supporting a baby to relax, bond, feed well, and move in age-appropriate ways, we nurture a curious baby who loves to explore!

Our goal is to help little ones feel capable and strong, encouraging them to reach out, move, and explore independently.

This means BabyGym optimises the first few "passive" months so that the baby conquers the "active" months.

BabyGym is not a stimulation class, it is a lifestyle!

Note: 6 weeks refers to full-term babies (40 weeks gestation) + 6 weeks.

Growth versus Development: Your Baby’s Brain and Body Working Together

Dr Melodie de Jager and Cozette Laubser explore the connection between babies’ physical growth and their ability to reach developmental milestones.

Neuroscience indicates that babies are born with more brain cells than they will ever use. Depending on the range of a baby’s movements during the first year of life, unused brain cells die off at a rate of 10,000 brain cells per day. The greater the variety of movement, the greater the brain development that takes place. The number of brain cells is not what is most important, what is important is the number of connections between the brain cells.
