5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Book On Infant Massage, August 9, 2001
By Kelly "kelly-lcce" (Kennesaw, GA United States) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)      
This is a wonderful book for any expectant or new parent. It gives a concise summary of the research supporting infant massage and why it is important. Then the book goes into great detail on how exactly to do a great infant massage. The last part of the book is dedicated to handling special cases [preemies, sick babies, etc]. The photos are great for helping you understand what massage techniques the author is describing. I found this book very helpful as a new parent. Infant massage really helped me bond and connect with my daughter [now three] and I'm looking forward to using it again with our new baby.

5.0 out of 5 stars Help with a Preemie, April 21, 2000
By Wendie (St. George, Utah) - See all my reviews
This book has meant so much to me. My daughter was born 2 1/2 months premature. When she was first born I was unable to hold and handle her as much as I would have liked since she had no fat under her skin and was very sensitive. My aunt gave me this book. I read it, learned the techniques and when it was appropriate, I began to give my baby a massage twice a day. Her development has been amazing and the connection between us was strengthened tremendously. I've had no prior massage experience and I found Ms. McClure's instructions easy to follow and perform. Emee and I look forward to our time together each day. The massage can take as long or be as short as needed, but the connection is invaluable. I'm so grateful for this book and the gift it has given to us. I know Infant Massage has made a huge difference in my daughters life and mine.

5.0 out of 5 stars Massage, play and lots of love., February 9, 2000
By "chaac" (NYC, USA) - See all my reviews
I started massaging daily my baby after reading this book when she was about 3 weeks old, now at 7 months she loves to hear the hands rubbing oils and just starts smiling and cooing as she feels the hands caressing her little body. We travel a lot so routines are hard for us but her daily massage before bathing time is the one thing always present in her life, and it seems she doesn't need anything else, she can take it all as long as there is the loving hour, totally devoted to us, no matter at what time this may come. When my husband is at home he just can't let anyone else give the massage to our girl so then I try to find time in the mornings while dressing her up to have our massage session. It is just a very important part of our life and she relaxes and enjoys it so much. Who could resist having a great time and a great soothed baby? This is a great book, you can try the massage on yourself and find out how great it is for your baby and yourself, plus it is a great time for bonding and activating your baby's body. Everyone, including her pediatrician, keeps telling us how alert and developed she is, I'd say this is the only thing I know we do different from must parents.
