Customer Reviews

Book: Baby Massage

I was very pleased with this seller. I received my book on time and in very good condition.

An excellent book covering the basics of baby massage

This is an excellent book that I recommend to parents wanting to learn baby massage. I'm an infant massage instructor and this is the book I recommend to the parents in my classes. For several reasons; it is an easy read covering the basics, the beautiful images show how to position both baby and yourself and it's short enough to read in a few hours. It even has some pages on how to keep incorporating massage if baby becomes a toddler, which I like very much (why stop massaging a child when the baby phase is over?) and is a plus compared to many other books on baby massage. The quotes that are spread throughout the book are a nice addition and give a great feel to it. An excellent book on the basics of baby massage.

massage book

The book was in excellent condition and was just what I was looking for. Thanks

Outstanding book!

After looking at nearly every massage book out there, I decided to buy this one and have not been disappointed with my choice. The main thing that clinched it for me was the fact that it is illustrated so well - every stroke has a photograph and a detailed description, making it so easy to follow. I found that many other books have line drawings rather than photos for many of the strokes. I also like the fact that there is not too much information. It is clear and concise - just what you need when you're holding the book open with one knee while attempting to massage a wriggly newborn! My 2 month old daughter absolutely adores massage time, and has done since the day we brought her home. This book is my number one "must have" for all parents. Massaging your baby is a wonderful bonding experience, and one which can be continued into the toddler years.

Baby Massage: The Calming Power of Touch

This has been one of the best purchases I have made since the birth of my son nine months ago. It has taught me how to massage him in a way that has helped me gain his trust. Not only does it relax him before bed, but it gives us some precious bonding time that can't be matched! I sing his favorite song while I do it, and someday, when he can talk, I'm sure he will sing along. I have suggested this book to all of my 'Mom' friends, and I urge all Mom's (and Dad's) to buy this one!!
