09-08-2025I bought this book when my baby was 1 mo old. I've read it twice and followed the suggestions to support development as i am able. We have a floor bed and I've been putting her in it for quite a few months now. My baby is now 8 mo old she cannot crawl forward yet, but she can crawl back into a sitting position. I was putting her to bed on her floor bed and she was fussy which has been normal and I've been trying to figure out why she isn't ready. Finally she rolled into her belly and slide off her bed and began to play with her rattles in a basket by her bed. I moved into her bed and laid down watching her. After a minute she reached for me, I pulled her into her bed and she drifted off to sleep on her own (no nursing no binky). I'm a new mom, my 8 mo old is my first. I'm shocked! She recognized that she was tired and reached for me on her bed when she was ready. Just like the Montessori book suggested would happen. I love this book. The drawings are simple and beautiful, the text is clear and encouraging. Love it!!

09-08-2025The media could not be loaded. I absolutely love everything about this book. The authors are amazing guides for prospective parents (whether you’re a solo parent-to-be, a couple, adopting, or the parent of an existing child who is reading this in preparation for another child). I love how this follows Maria Montessori’s history and ideals, and is true to real Montessori roots. There are so many items that social media and shopping apps tell you that you NEED to buy, as though you’re a bad parent if you don’t purchase the most expensive AI crib, latest technology, etc. for your baby.However, simplicity helps babies to thrive and this book helps explain what kind of environment to set up to nurture our children. This book reminds us that babies deserve respect, are far more complex than we give them credit, and that they’re capable of amazing us if given the chance to express themselves and, in-turn, deserve that we observe them prior to rushing them through life. Whether you’re familiar with Montessori or want to be, the authors do a fantastic job of explaining everything. The pictures and drawings are so sweet.
It’s time to change the way we see babies. Drawing on principles developed by the educator Dr Maria Montessori, The Montessori Baby shows how to raise your baby from birth to age one with love, respect, insight, and a surprising sense of calm. Cowritten by Simone Davies, author of the bestselling The Montessori Toddler, and Junnifa Uzodike, it’s a book filled with hundreds of practical ideas for understanding what is actually happening with your baby, and how you can mindfully assist in their learning and development. Including how to: • Prepare yourself for parenthood–physically, emotionally, intellectually, and spiritually. • Become an active observer to understand what your baby is really telling you. • Create Montessori spaces in your home, including “yes” spaces where nothing is off-limits. • Set up activities that encourage baby’s movement and language development at their own pace • Raise a secure baby who’s ready to explore the world with confidence.
