What parents say
I have a 10 week old son and in these early stages it’s been wonderful to use the videos in the comfort and safety of our own home. I’ve appreciated it most on days when I haven’t had much sleep. Because of the videos I can still help him learn and we can play together, all while still in pjs with unwashed hair!
