Discover the gentle art of Infant Massage...
In this completely updated version of her renowned classic, Vimala McClure, founder of the International Association of Infant Massage, and its premier proponent in the United States, helps you master the techniques of infant massage so you can incorporate this joyful and wonderful healing art into your baby's life. She shows you why a daily massage can be one of the greatest gifts you give your child...and yourself. For generations mothers the world over have known that the soft stroke of their hands soothes, calms, and communicates their love to their babies. Now scientific research proves that massage can do all that and more. In Infant Massage, McClure shares how massage benefits children--easing discomfort, releasing tension, helping premature infants gain weight, even helping asthmatic children improve breathing function. She explains each step of the massage process with simple easy-to-follow instructions and delightful photographs demonstrating each stroke.

New Edition Coming!
"Infant Massage: a Handbook for Loving Parents" (Bantam Books) has sold over 200,000 copies since its first publication. The third edition, which I am working on now, will be published within the next two years. Look for it here, with a new look, updated information and lovely new photos. Another book I've written makes a great gift: "The Tao of Motherhood" (New World Library), an inspirational book for parents of all ages. I have just finished my new book: "The Path of Parenting: Twelve Principles to Guide Your Journey," to be released in March, 1999 (New World Library). My essay, titled "Parenting in the New Millenium" appears in the newly released anthology: "The Fabric of the Future: Women Visionaries Illuminate the Path to Tomorrow" (Conari Press); it can give you a preview of "The Path of Parenting" content. I hope you enjoy these books and that they are helpful to you on your journey as a parent. Thank you!
