I skimmed over this, but here are some notes:
endnotes provide sources for scientific background but the author notes that she only included the original (old) studies which she says have been backed up again and again in newer studies (not cited). If you are looking for something heavier in science, this is maybe not it, HOWEVER
I do think there is a lot to be said in just paying attention to your baby's reactions (which she tells you how to do) and adjusting accordingly. She gives info on infant massage techniques as well as lullaby songs from various cultures (with sheet music notation), and also rhymes that you can use along with the gentle motions, so I give that a thumbs up.
