Book Reviews of Baby Massage: The Calming Power of Touch
Book Review: Not for attachment parents
Summary: 2 Stars
While this book offers good information on baby massage, it also includes harmful advice on baby's sleep needs, recommending solitary sleep in a crib, starting at four months.
Babies need their parents beside them at night, for many emotional and physical reasons. Every baby knows this, that's why they so strongly resist sleeping alone. Forcing a baby to become independent before they are ready to do so is unhelpful, unrealistic, and damages the bond between parent and child. Would the authors recommend forcing a rose to bloom?
Solitary sleeping in early childhood is one of the main reasons so many adults in our culture have sleep disorders. It seems completely inconsistent to promote such a loving practice as baby massage and then give misinformed, harmful advice on sleep. I urge all readers to visit The Natural Child Project at [...] and click on articles/sleep for informed and caring advice on this subject.
