Baby's First Massage
The Perfect Gift "The New Book of Baby & Child Massage" By Robert Toporek
I know that touching was and still is and always will be the true revolution. -Nikki Giovanni
Parents who have experienced the wonderful world of massage know the benefits. Now parents who have never had a massage are discovering this new world of touch and its benefits for their babies and children. These parents are turning to massage as a way of tuning into to themselves as well as their children. With the help of "The New Book of Baby & Child Massage," parents are finding that one of the biggest benefits of massage is how much fun it is. The old adage that parents know best has never been truer when it comes to massage for babies & children. Parents today are working harder and harder just to make ends meet. Finding healthy ways of balancing work and family ties seem harder and harder to find. Spending quality time with our babies and children is becoming more elusive but just as important. "The New Book of Baby and Child Massage," is the PERFECT GIFT. Significant scientific evidence supports the position that the best time to begin massaging our children is at birth. The University of Miami with initial funding from the Johnson & Johnson Foundation has been researching this extraordinary phenomenon since 1972. Their studies show that premature babies who were massaged daily fared significantly better than preemies who were not massaged. Full term babies, when massaged even for short periods, have been found to sleep better, and have less colic difficulties and other aliments common to newborns than their unmassaged counterparts. Long-term effects have proven more significant in terms of positive mental and physical development.
