Everyday connection through music, play, and routine

Vered Benhorin’s parenting guide centers on the ordinary stretches of a baby’s first year: feeding, diaper changes, naps, fussiness, and bedtime. Drawing on attachment theory alongside practical tools and research, it organizes brief shared activities—such as massage, musical play, and singing made-up sounds—into repeatable “bubble moments” between parent and baby. The book presents these interactions as ways to build communication and language while bringing greater consistency to daily routines. Its emphasis stays on small, accessible forms of engagement that can be woven into time already spent caring for an infant.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • New parents seeking ideas for engaging with a baby during everyday routines
  • Caregivers interested in music, play, mindfulness, and attachment-informed activities
  • Parents looking for guidance on soothing, bedtime, and early communication

Book overview

Let's be real: Caring for a baby can be exhaustingly tedious. Enter Vered Benhorin, musician, therapist, and mother of three. In What Do I Do with My Baby All Day?, Benhorin builds on the foundations of attachment theory and blends practical tools with research to teach parents how to develop a more gratifying relationship with their baby. With her guidance, parents will step into the present with their baby and truly enjoy one another using her easy, guided activities. From a baby buddha massage to babble boost (singing nonsense words), small "bubble moments" throughout the day provide a shared experience between parent and child that benefits both. These moments also have practical applications, like soothing the baby when they're fussy, making bedtime more effective, strengthening routines, and increasing communication and language. This book is a must-have for new parents everywhere.
