This is our Earth to Body baby, Sidney Roy, proud son of Heidi and Steph, whom many of you have met at the shows!  Sidney is new to the world, new to Kangaroo Care and Baby Massage and loving every minute.

“In the early 1980s, two pediatricians in Bogota, Colombia, made waves around the world for a new method of caring for premature babies. The method, called Kangaroo Care, was so named because of how it resembles marsupial care giving: A mother snuggles her baby, upright, against her bare chest for long periods of time.”

Although the male kangaroo may depart, our fathers stay.   They cuddle, coo and massage their baby.  Both Heidi and Steph practice skin to skin with Sidney and they are seeing their baby thrive.  Sidney smiles all the time. 

Kangaroo care was first practiced in preemies, but is now wisely extended to full term babies. Like Sidney.  It makes sense.  Who does not want to feel, smell and absorb the warmth of nurturing comfort, love and security?

Baby massage is just as important.   It benefits all over, the legs, the belly, the neck, the arms, the heart, the soul.  Our Organic Baby Package is for delicate, new-to-the–world skin, pure, simple and nourishing.  Sidney loves the Baby Love Oil.  It not only aids in the art of the massage itself, but it moisturizes and feeds the skin the needed nourishment.  Both Heidi and Steph regularly massage Sidney.

They are teaching him baby sign language and pretty soon Sidney will be able to ask for his own 'spa day'.  "Massage me please, Mama."   "Sing to me, Papa."

Congratulations on the birth of your gorgeous, healthy baby boy Sidney Roy.
What a lucky baby to have these wonderful products available now and two loving, caring parents.
When we had our 3 sons in 1971, 1975 & 1979, these products were not available.
Enjoy your little boy daily. They grow up so quickly and every moment is special.

Take care,
Jo

Thank you for writing, Joanne.  I, too, am a 70's mom (Sidney is my grandson) . Unfortunatley, at that time, I did not question the commercial products on the market.  Many of us were not aware that they may not have been the best choices.  Today's parents have more information at their fingertips and we are happy to provide them with healthy choices.  Heidi and Steph and Sidney thank you, too.
