Neat Foldout book makes it easy to read
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
The spiral bound book folds over like a table tent which makes it easy to set up and read while you're holding the baby. I was so busy when my baby came home that it was one of the few books I was actually able to read. The content is good too in that it provides you not only with simple, easy to do massage techniques, but also has a wide variety of information including how to calm your baby, what oils to use etc. If you're expecting this to be a reference book of sorts or anything more than a step by step basic guide to baby massage, then it's not the one for you. The format of the book would make it difficult to reference.
Excellent and practical!

I love this book. I teach infant massage and I provide this book and Vimala McClure's Infant Massage to my students. My husband loves this book, too. He uses it every night when he massages our baby. It's so easy to prop it up at the changing table!
Suzanne's Book is Magic!

Suzanne has it down. You might begin this book with the intention of giving your baby all of the benefits that massage has to offer Such as promoting physiological, neurological and psychological development and function. But, as it turns out, the bonding that occurs during these special times you spend with your baby are priceless. Developing a deep relationship with your baby that will last a lifetime. Thanks Suzanne!

We have learned so much in the last decade about what babies want and need in order to grow into healthy people. Suzanne's book teaches us how to connect with our babies through compassionate touch. She explains to us and shows us how to have experiences that contribute to the physical, social, and emotional development of our little ones. This is a MUST HAVE for couples thinking about conceiving, those who are pregnant, and anyone who is responsible for nurturing and caring for babies.
Help baby's brain grow and have fun while doing it - Don't miss out!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
This book makes me want to have another baby! This book is so much fun! The author does an excellent job of delivering what is really a very important message about early infant growth and development while preserving a simple and fun approach that inspires the reader to want to give it a try. Once you try it, you're hooked! If done the way the author suggests in the CLASS approach, you are setting you and your baby up for optimum communication, positive shared experiences and an all around good time that you 'll want again and again. The format is genius - flipchart style! Get this book. If you don't, you are missing out on one of the joys of parent-infant interaction - and it's EXCELLENT FOR DADS too!
