What do babies really need? Part 2

I love this poem printed in The Power of Motherhood by Nancy Campbell. It is reprinted here with permission from Above Rubies.

The BEST!

With all the gadgets and labor-saving devices on the market for babies nowadays, I thought I'd try to find the best of each. I was not surprised to find that:

The BEST infant seat is mother's arms,
The BEST baby swing is mother's lap in a rocking chair,
The BEST stroller is mother's body,
The BEST nursery record is mother's own heart beat,
The BEST lullaby record is mother's singing, and of course,
The BEST food, pacifier, electric warmer, and tranquilizer can be found at the mother's breast.
