It is true that massage is also nice for mom and for baby. This is a special time with her toddler. But when it also relieves him if in colic, toothache etc., is even better. This book is rather well designed, there are illustrations, the explanations are clear. But being a novice, I completed with videos found on the net. Actually, I especially liked the passages incorporating reflexology. There are diagrams showing the points and ways to boost them. I recommend it.
