Product Description


In this book the technique of baby massage is presented as a new concept of an ancient art.
It teaches: loving touch, bonding and baby contact, baby massage as an alternative to drugs, healing the effects of birth trauma, nurturing for parents and baby massage as an expression of love.
As well as maintaining the continuity of the bonding process, the practice of baby massage enhances the child's well-being through the experience of loving touch and is a valuable way for parents to express love for their babies. It is also a loving, healing, vitalising part to the total care for the premature baby and the baby with birth trauma, and it can be used later as an alternative to drugs for teething and the unsettled baby.
