I have to tell you that I no longer have a little baby to massage but my puppy is so in love with me when I massage her every morning.   Robyn   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of elizabeth mcalpine Sent: Monday, November 11, 2002 8:08 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [ozmidwifery] healing and connecting after c/sec /violent birth     Melissa, wonderful message to pass on to everyone ......thanks   lizmc   I started massaging my boy when he was quite new, and we both got so much out of it - we still do (he's 3 now * skin-to-skin as soon as possible after birth.     * telling my child the things I wanted to say to him when he was born, but couldn't because we were separated after the birth   I whispered those words to him at night as he slept.   I told him after his afternoon nap, when he was still drowsy.  I will never forget the look of wonderment and delight on his face (this was only quite recently). That has been very healing for me.
