The best guide for quiet family time together

We received this book as a gift for our first child. It has been wonderful to learn about the variety of ways touch can calm our baby. We particularly enjoy the quiet time in the evenings when all three of us are together when my husband and I give our baby her nightly massage. Since we have added massage, our baby has been falling asleep faster and sleeping longer. I would recommend this to any couple with a newborn looking to incorporate some quiet, bonding time for the family.
