Promotes the importance of one-on-one play between parent and child by featuring over one hundred activities that encourage bonding and boost baby's development.

It can seem like babies need so much gear and so many toys. But when it comes to their health and development, less is more. In Retro Baby, pediatric occupational therapist and child development specialist Anne Zachry shows parents how bouncers, swings, and other baby holders, as well as electronic toys and screen-time, can hinder development and delay milestones. She suggests a return to back-to-basics parenting, featuring ideas for hands-on activities, homemade toys, and lots of caregiver engagement. Her approach will save parents money, reduce household clutter, and most importantly boost development and bonding.
