Do baby exercise classes help with physical development?

No: They're fun, and they'll give you and your baby a nice opportunity to meet people and get out a bit. But no, i don't think there's any evidence that these kinds of classes actually help with development.

No: Normal, healthy babies develop just fine without exercise classes. Because babies love to move around and play, every day of their lives is a spontaneous "exercise class". Parents should take time out every day to play with their children. If an infant has a developmental delay or some physical handicap, then a structured exercise plan can help improve the desired skills.

No: The best exersise class is playing and having fun with your baby. Yet they are a nice respite and a good opportunity to get out and meet new moms.
