EXCERPTS:
"As
a parent, loving relative, or caregiver of an infant, you want
to see your child flourish. Touch is one of the most important
requirements for healthy mental and physical development — a
fact supported by both ancient tradition and contemporary
research. Massage is attentive, pleasurable touch that can
promote your baby’s well-being while increasing your
ability to respond to his or her needs."
"In addition, bonding—that unique and close attachment
between you and your baby—is enhanced with massage. Responding
to your baby's smiles, frowns and squirms with sensitive touch,
eye contact, soothing sounds and loving communication can reinforce
a trust which sustains your relationship for years to come." |
