Strokes of Genius

Small and cute are de facto for newborns. But their delicacy can take some getting used to.

Up your confidence around your tiny wiggler with BabyBabyOhBaby, a DVD by Oakland filmmaker David Stark. It intros fretful moms and pops to the magic of infant massage.

The watcher-friendly DVD takes on everything from safety (conduct the massage on the floor: Oiled babies are slippery) to easing tummy aches (gentle rubs ferret out gas bubbles). With quality camera shots and adorable bambinos on view, all is executed with a proverbial light touch.

It could be just what you knead.
