In 1975, this book started a gentle revolution in the way we bring our children into the world by urging us to consider birth from the infants point of view. Now, Dr. Leboyer shares his vision with a new generation of parents. The newest neonatal wrinkle, from France -- Dr. Leboyer has excited attention all over the continent and there has been some earlier commentary here -- childbirth without pain for the child. In photographs (40 full page) and short sentences of ultrasimplicity, Dr. Leboyer indicates how to reduce birth trauma -- the sensitivity to light, to noise, the yanking and spanking. Speak to your child  (almost as you would your plants) with tenderness. Touch the baby gently. Put him back in a small bath of warm water -- the equivalent of his former habitat. Ease his way into the world. Dr. Leboyers tone is tantamount to a caress and a wide audience is expected to respond. Love, listen, understand
