Customer Reviews

Practical, convincing and simple to follow

Love the book. I read it first from cover to cover, then started using just the massage instructions. I massage our 7-month baby boy every morning using the grapeseed oil just as the author recommends. My boy loves the massage, he's become very flexible, and he is about to sit. I consult the book and refresh my memory every now and then, and it helps not to forget the important details. Sometimes I combine some play into the massage session to keep my baby interested.

Great Book!

I bought several books on massage for babies and Peter Walker (no relation) is by far the best writer on the subject. This book also includes flexibity exercises that babies love to do.

A Beautiful and wonderful book

This book teach how meet a relationship with the hands between your baby and you without words. It helps also to know what important is the precocious stimulation on a baby.
