Are You Chanukah or Christmas?

A cute soft cover children's book by Felicia Miller-Stehr (illustrations by
Rosalinde Block), follows a little girl through the streets of Manhattan as
she polls friends and neighbors on which holiday makes their season bright.
>From a dog walker to a taxi driver, each gives insight into their December
rituals in fun rhyming text. The moral of the story says it plain and clear:

 The Benefits of Infant Massage

-Are you looking for a better way to soothe your baby, and regulate its
sleep and digestive patterns?

-Are you looking for a great way to bond with your adopted baby?

-Do you wish there were more you could do to help and love your premature
infant?

-Have you heard your friends rave about how fun infant massage can be?

Infant massage may sound like an extravagant ritual for the fabulously
wealthy. But in fact, it can benefit many families in many different
situations. Infant massage is not so much about the massage itself as it is
about baby-parent bonding through appropriate nurturing touch, learning to
communicate with your infant, and helping the infant get accustomed to its
new jobs of digesting, sleeping, and interacting with the world. 

Some of the many benefits of infant massage:

            -improved communication between infant and care-givers

            -bonding, building trust

            -deeper sleep, more regular sleep/wake patterns

            -improved digestion and elimination

            -improved social and neuromuscular development

            -improved circulation, healing, and immune function

            ***-improved weight gain and shorter hospital stays for
premature infants

Cornelia is a Certified Newborn Massage Instructor (CNMI), and would be
delighted to provide classes for parents and care-givers, or simply more
information on the wonderful practice of infant massage. Please contact her
at chr_eller at yahoo.com or 650-207-7861

Dr. Barry has helped us get my son's allergy & sleep issues under control

Review from Jens List member, Dr. Corter - drcorter at bactohealth.com 

We didn't even know that neurofeedback could help infants, but we had such
great success getting my husband more focused (borderline ADD personality
type) that we decided to give it a try with our infant too.   FAQs about EEG
Neurofeedback

Neurofeedback is a technique we use for all ages (infancy to 80+ years) in
which we train the brain to help improve its ability to regulate itself.
When the brain is not functioning well, evidence of this often shows up in
the EEG (Electroencephalogram). By training the brain, much as you train
your body in physical exercise, we can help your brain learn to function
better.  A better functioning brain typically can improve or reduce the
symptoms of a range of problems including sleep disorders, anxiety,
depression, attention, autism, seizures, traumatic brain injury, as well as
with syndromes like migraine or chronic pain.  Even infants with sleep
disorders can be helped, usually quite quickly.  Based on solid neuroscience
and 30+ years of clinical practice, EEG Neurofeedback is a powerful and
ideal option for any adult or child struggling with sleep, mood, anxiety,
attentional issues.
