best purchase for parents!
One of the best purchases we have made in a long time! The text size is perfect, making it easy to read and understand the valuable Montessori principles. The book also provides practical images for organizing the baby's room, which are incredibly helpful. Additionally, the list of age-appropriate, skill-targeting toys and a lot of useful information for parents. We've started implementing some of the principles, and our little one loving it so far. We are learning so much together as a family. I highly recommend this book to all parents looking to raise their baby with love and respect.

Good information for new parents
I am happy with the book and find it interesting. I am a Montessori teacher and I think this book is good for parents and students. The only disappointment for me is the lack of photos and picture which would maybe encourage more people to understand how to put the theory into practice.

Wonderfully informative book
What a wonderfully helpful book. This took principles I already knew I wanted to follow, and made them make sense. Book was in great condition and arrived quickly. Looks great on a bookshelf too. I plan to buy the toddler and child editions as well.

Very helpful for Montessori beginners
Loved this book. It explains well few Montessori principles that really are the basis for everything that comes next. Loved the schematics about how to organise the baby room. It also provide a list of age appropriate and Montessori inspired toys with relative explanation of the skills the tor is intended to target.

Okay, but some concerning advice.
There are some brilliant ideas in this book and it does give a great overview of montessori principles. At times I'm left wondering how much they really apply to infants, or whether they really only come into their own at age 1+. The main reason for my low score is the judgy tone that I feel runs throughout the book. Somehow the author manages to make you feel bad whether you formula feed, pump, breastfeed or any combination of all three. I personally have breast fed my eldest and am currently breastfeeding my second. This book started that montessori principles suggest to wean at around 10 months to encourage independence, and that breastfeeding should only be for nutrition - you should try to avoid feeding for comfort (and also don't use a dummy!). This is ridiculous advice and goes against WHO guidelines to breastfeed until 2yo and against LLL / any other reputable breastfeeding resource about comfort feeding. I'll pick and choose the bits from this book that I like and want to implement with my new baby, the rest of it will just get ignored. I would strongly urge any first time parents to not rely solely on this book for parenting advice!!

A gentle and inspiring read for new parents
As a mom, I really enjoyed this book. It explains the Montessori approach in a simple and calming way without making you feel overwhelmed. I loved how it focuses on respecting the baby, encouraging independence, and creating a peaceful environment from the very beginning. Even if you don’t plan to follow Montessori perfectly, this book gives beautiful ideas that can help any parent become more intentional and connected with their child. Easy to read, practical, and very inspiring.

Montessori made simple
The Montessori Baby is such a great resource. Montessori principles are explained in a really practical and encouraging way, with simple ideas you can use from the newborn stage. It helped me see my baby as capable and curious, and I’d recommend it to any new parent looking for a gentle, evidence-based guide.
