What are the best classes for a baby under 1 on the Upper West Side?<\/h2>\n

For babies under one, music and gym classes offer the most to see, hear and do. Every class at this age is a parent-and-child class; our guide to mommy and me classes on the Upper West Side<\/a> explains what the grown-up does.<\/strong> Kidville music classes welcome newborns and are led by a live band. Our guide to music classes for babies on the Upper West Side<\/a> shows what happens in a class. At 6 months, gym classes<\/a> add obstacle courses, giant blocks, the Tumbl Trak and indoor swings sized for new movers.<\/p>\n

Early play may help development: the American Academy of Pediatrics explains that play builds healthy brains and bodies<\/a>. A weekly class turns that play into a routine, and during a long New York winter it gets you both out of the apartment. This guide is general information, not medical advice.<\/p>\n
