5.0 out of 5 stars From a therapeutic perspective, Jul 29 2000
I am a graduate occupational therapy student. In two months, I will be working with disabled pediatric population. This book is a must read for all parents. It is written in a simple language and provides numerous illustrations. Once you read about the benefits, you will not be able to deprive your child of a massage. Read the book, so you can share a wonderful and therapeutic experience with your baby.

5.0 out of 5 stars great handbook, Mar 6 2000
By A Customer
I am a certified massage therapist and infant massage instructor. I suggest this book to many of my clients because it is easy to read but also detailed enough to leave the reader well informed. The methods described by McClure are widely accepted. A must read for anyone involved with the daily care of young children.

5.0 out of 5 stars Parents, Do Try This At Home, Mar 24 2004
By Lawrence G Coatney "Geno" (Pagosa Springs, Colorado USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Have you ever touched a baby and had a happy response? Well this book will show you how to fine tune that touch. Once you can do this you will find there is nothing quite like seeing your baby glow with the love and attention he or she is recieving as you massage them.

Babys need a lot of care and this is one way you can both enjoy interacting. Not only does baby enjoy the sensations, but this is the best opportunity to learn your baby's personality. This is when they really open up, telling you through their large smiles, loud coos and some rather amazing wiggling, what they like and dislike, and most importantly, how much they love you.

While massaging our little boy (although my wife does most of it), I have found that there is more of a bond, and a feeling that this child really is a part of our life.

Inside you will find not only how to massage an infant, but lots of information about the importance of an early relationshp with your child, and how times have changed and people are finally becomming aware that their baby doesn't just need physical care, but emotional and spiritual care as well.

We got this book because we heard that infant massage helps gassy babies, not only by helping to release the gas, but also easing tension in both you and the baby. After a week or two of practicing, the results were real. Not only is he generally feeling better, but he really looks foward to his massages.

My only regret is in not knowing about this book when my little girl was a small baby. But as they say, it is never to late, and she is now massaged on a semi-regular basis, thoughrouly enjoying it, (although at this age they are much more easily tickled).

Do I recomend this book? Highly. I think american culture needs more books like this that place a real value on human interaction, and how to cultivate it.
