Boat Pose
Kids love this pose, infants and toddlers alike! Sitting tall with your knees bent, hold onto your thighs, roll your shoulders back and down and lift one foot then the other off the floor to make the shins parallel to the floor. Try to release your hands from the thighs while keeping the feet up and shoulders back, holding the pose for 3 to 5 slow, deep breaths. Your baby can be facing you with her back on your thighs or facing away with her back on your tummy. A bigger baby or toddler can be supported on your shins for real challenge!

Summer: Claire Danes
“One of my favorite summer pregnancy looks of all time was Claire Danes at the 2012 Emmy Awards. She rocked effortless elegance in a canary-yellow strapless Lanvin dress. The color screams summer and looked amazing on her. She was seven months pregnant, and she looked better than many of the non-pregnant celebs on the carpet.”
The takeaway: Don’t be afraid to sport a bright color as the temperature rises.
