Review # 1 was written on 2011-05-19 00:00:00 Conor Mcgarry This book has some really beautiful ideas about how massage can help babies and parents and it clearly outlines safe and effective techniques for infant massage. The author also articulates some wonderful thoughts on what it means to be valued and respected and how to translate those feelings to your baby through massage. The one gripe I have with this book is that it talks to a specific type of parent even though it is said a few times that infant massage can be a great part of your routine no matter what your parenting style or philosophy may be. This book leans strongly towards attachment parenting, thereby excluding a number of parents who might be put off by some of the language in it. Overall, I would encourage any parent to read this book, definitely stressing the fact that infant massage is not just for those who embrace a certain lifestyle or parenting philosophy. It is for everyone.
