Loving Hands

LOVING HANDS, by respected obstetrician Frederick Leboyer, M.D., teaches the traditional Indian art of baby massage. Using techniques he learned in Calcutta, Leboyer shows new parents, step by step, the importance of communication with their newborn infant, which helps to create loving ties early on. Leboyer explains how touch and sensation allow a mother to express love and strength to her newborn child even better than words or objects can. He offers photographs of a young Indian mother demonstrating these techniques on her own infants. While the traditional art of baby massage is an ancient technique, Leboyer uses his professional knowledge and experience in prenatal care to endorse its benefits. Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005.
