nonfiction; infant care.
I skimmed over this, but here are some notes:
endnotes provide sources for scientific background but the author notes that she only included the original (old) studies which she says have been backed up again and again in newer studies (not cited). If you are looking for something heavier in science, this is maybe not it, HOWEVER
I do think there is a lot to be said in just paying attention to your baby's reactions (which she tells you how to do) and adjusting show more accordingly. She gives info on infant massage techniques as well as lullaby songs from various cultures (with sheet music notation), and also rhymes that you can use along with the gentle motions, so I give that a thumbs up. show less

I became aware of this book in my yoga classes. Our teacher would read passages to us, and I found them thought provoking enough to track down a copy.
The thoughts in this book help you put things in perspective, and find a sense of calm. I'll make sure I read from it on challenging days especially.

A great book on the subject of infant massage. I did quite a bit of this with my son when he was little, and he seemed to enjoy it.
