Your infants and children can benefit from your giving them massage (and so can you). Research shows children who receive massage are more alert, gain weight faster, sleep more soundly, and suffer less anxiety. Choose from a 10-minute massage for a newborn to techniques for older children of any age, including a centuries-old Ayurveda massage from India especially designed for times when kids are overactive during the day or restless at bedtime. Photos and captions illustrate each move of a parent's hands and a baby's body. Soothing movements to the child's stomach can relieve colic, and other techniques can heal common ailments such as teething, earache, and congestion, as you make these loving touches a part of your child's daily routine.

This review is from: Baby Touch: Massage and Reflexology for Babies and Children (Paperback)
This book is great. It is simple and easy to follow the directions. I started off with just a basic message but now I even use it for helping my son with teething, constipation and sinus problems. I love it and I'm so glad I bought it.

This review is from: Baby Touch: Massage and Reflexology for Babies and Children (Paperback)
The book is presented as straight forward information. Where as some of the other BABY MASSAGE books have just a few words on a page, or poems spaced to add pages this book is not made of filler.
The instructions are easy. It is a very basic book, and is a great beginners book. After reading and using it, I would buy it as a gift for a new mom.
