Beautiful photos reveal loving method for bonding with baby A Customer Beautiful photographs set amidst poetry and simple instructions guide new parents in positioning and massaging their baby. The book conveys a sense of serenity that a parent may find through interacting with his or her child. It also discusses various oils and lotions that can be used for a smooth and soothing massage. One factor which did not allow for a 10 rating here is the lack of fathers giving infant massage. Also note that if someone wished to give this book as a gift, they should be aware that there is one poem which discusses the circle of life, including death, which can be very upset. Deeply moving and wonderfully inspirational book Jennifer Scott(kevin@turbonet.com) What a beautiful book! The photographs are so telling of the love existant between mother and child. Frederick Leboyer is gifted with words and descriptions come across as simple poetry rather than dry descriptions. Here is something I wish my mother had done to me as a child. A gift I will give myself and my child when the time comes. On a side note I didn't find the exclusion of fathers massaging as being a bad thing. This is the story of Shantala and her baby. The poetic reference to death is about the death of the soul without love. Whether you are a baby or an adult the results are the sam. "Breath-taking photos" according to CM. Beautiful book. I am married to an Indian man that says this is the way to go for when we have our baby. It is so beautiful to see. I cried reading it. I love that I got in hopes that we conceive our first baby soon.
The wisdom and knowledge Dr. Written by the famous French obstetrician, Fredrick Leboyer, who pioneered the popular "water birth" or Leboyer method of birthing. Leboyer has absorbed from his sojourns in the East are fused with the deeply personal expression--in words and photos--of his own unique insight. LOVING HANDS, like its extraordinary predecessor, BIRTH WITHOUT VIOLENCE, brings us into a new and transforming relationship with our babies--and with ourselves.. The actual techniques of massage, and the embracing vision that animates them, are seen through the person of the radiant young mother, Shantala, whom the author met with, observed, and photographed with her babies in India. In LOVING HANDS he shows us how, in the weeks and months following the birth, we can use the flowing rhythms of the traditional Indian art of baby massage to communicate our love and strength to our infants in a primal language of touch and sensation
