The Healing Touch is a universal act of caring
and warm communication known around
the globe as bodywork or massage.
Infants suffering with colic have been relieved
by gentle massage and regular massage may
help babies sleep better.
Before starting, make sure the room is room
warm; then with the baby lying face up, slowly
and gently rub a little baby oil all over the body,
moving the palms lightly in rhythmic circles-al-
ways move in a clockwise direction.
Babies thrive on touch and massage can provide
parents a special way of comforting a tiny new
presence.

Myth of Er: Is aught a number? Ok
Aught-noun. Eight followed by three aughts represents the number 8,000: zero; nothing, null. Slang goose egg, zip,
aught pronoun. "For aught I know, she's gone, and four aught I care, she she can stay:all.
Usage note-Aught meaning all-is never used nowadays- except as in the sentence above; Until our grandparents' generation aught was also used as a literary word meaning " anything at all" as in the following line by Tennyson: " Unfaith in aught is want of faith in all."
Word origin: Aught comes from the phrase a naught, which people began to pronounce as " an aught."
