Product Description
From Library Journal
In this profusely illustrated work, Walker expands on his earlier The Book of Baby Massage (S. & S., 1988) to offer a variety of massage movements for babies that evolve into gentle exercises for flexibility and strength. He includes suggestions for basic massage oils and preparation of the newborn for later massage. Also described are the many benefits for both baby and parent, including bonding, socialization, and enhanced physical development. For popular parenting and health collections.?Susan B. Hagloch, Tuscarawas Cty. P.L., New Philadelphia, Ohio

From Booklist
This how-to book is an ideal guide for helping parents learn about the movement and muscular development of growing babies. The author demystifies massage, focusing on its practical benefits rather than on its magical powers, although he gives a brief history of the art and its uses throughout the world. The book gives useful tips on how to introduce massage to an infant, how to recognize and react to the important stages of physical development, and, of course, how actually to massage a baby. Parents will also welcome the final chapter, called "A Healing Touch," which deals with the ways massage could help children and parents with special needs. Mary Frances Wilkens

OK color photographs and drawings,
By A Customer
This review is from: Book Of Baby Massage (Paperback)
Let me make it clear that I was -- and am -- looking for a beautiful book containing beautiful photographs about baby massage -- a book to promote baby massage in a extremely visually appealing way. With that in mind, and the fact that I haven't read the actual text of the book closely: the book is illustrated with 24 color photographs and numerous color pencil drawings. The reproduction quality is only ok. This is the best photographic book about baby massage I've found so far, but I haven't stopped looking.

Practical, convincing and simple to follow,
By Kazakh "Shinar" - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Baby Massage: A Practical Guide to Massage and Movement for Babies and Infants (Paperback)
Love the book. I read it first from cover to cover, then started using just the massage instructions. I massage our 7-month baby boy every morning using the grapeseed oil just as the author recommends. My boy loves the massage, he's become very flexible, and he is about to sit. I consult the book and refresh my memory every now and then, and it helps not to forget the important details. Sometimes I combine some play into the massage session to keep my baby interested.
