Success Through Play™ Comments:
The book has a stand -up flip-chart design which is very handy when using it as a reference. This book covers a full range of topics and addresses many common questions about infant massage such as what kind of pressure do I use and what body part do I start with? It includes unique tips and even has a custom massage routine for the morning time (waking up), bath time (bubble massage), tummy troubles (how to soothe) and sleepy time (winding down to sleep). There are even some song suggestions! Highly recommended.
