Music Together offers a variety of music classes for infants, kids, and mommies throughout Bergen County. Kids and parents sing, dance, chant and play along with instruments to a variety of musical styles, melodies and rhythms—and yes, you may bring your other kids to any class; in fact, it’s encouraged. (In other words, you can bring your 5-year-old to an infant class with his baby sister.) Fun is absolutely encouraged, along with creativity! The program is 10 weekly, 45-minute classes which include songs, rhythmic rhymes, movement, and instrument play and fingerplay. Check website for Spring and Summer registration info and locations.

There's also a Music Together in Princeton and you can find other music classes for kids in NJ here.

Baby and Me yoga classes also offered! Check Web site for details and dates.

Babywearing is a wonderful way for mommies and babies to bond—both physically and emotionally. It’s a deep-rooted tradition that women have passed on from generation to generation and online and at various boutiques (Such as Bambi Baby in Hoboken) you can purchase some gorgeous sling and wraps to carry your baby. In the meantime, there are babywearing groups out there for moms to meet new friends and also learn more about the benefits of babywearing. There’s a babywearing chapter in South Jersey and North Jersey, so reach out to the group’s founders and organizers to learn more about this beautiful practice. (Central Jersey has a Yahoo forum here.)

Wheeling a stroller around a store or down the street can be exhausting—no really! I used to joke my daughter’s stroller helped work my arm muscles, and it turns out Stroller Strides agrees with me!

I hate admitting this, and please don’t judge, but I’m no chef. I’m getting better though! Thankfully, I found Give Peas a Chance Cooking School (at Cugini’s Kitchen in Hoboken), which shows mommies quick, easy, and healthy ways to make their own baby food. Classes go in stages, Stage 1: Purees,  Stage 2: Introduction to Textures, Stage 3: Textures and Finger Foods and  Stage 4: Toddler Meals. Cugini’s also offers a baby food delivery service for local mommies. Baby Party Catering also available!

And if you are handy in the kitchen and would like some fresh produce delivered to your door to make your own baby purees, Urban Organic of Brooklyn does deliver to New Jersey residents.
