THE TOUCH

Coming back home is not the same when you have your baby waiting for you. It is a titillated feeling when you appear in front of your sweet baby and he smiles at you in the hope that you will pick him up in your arms and kiss him. He really enjoys your touch very much because of the fact that you have been away from for some time and he started missing you. 

      

It takes much more time to take your uniform out and wear comfortable clothes as your little cutie’s smile is not letting you do that. The powerful touch of your baby immediately wipes out the load you may have from office work and daily routine. It happens like magic as if nothing bad happened during the whole day. The warmth, when you carry him on your shoulders, feels very soothing and you wish to keep him holding for ever. 

          

Well, the touch or warmth is not just a feeling, rather it holds a profound significance. The gentle touch of parents plays a vital role for the baby’s emotional, cognitive and physical development. The baby feels comfortable and loved when you hold them. 

The gentle touch creats a strong bond between the little one and the parents. From the very first moment of life, a baby seeks comforting touch of his parents, which helps in establishing safe and trustful environment for the baby. The baby starts feeling the same emotions as his parents with the help of this touch. 

       

A child also get his cognitive development when he sees his parents around him, hugging, kissing, loving and holding his hands. He starts developing his sensory system which then helps him in recognising the identity of people around him. It is just the warmth, the touch and the smell that he senses and feels comfortable if these senses are familiar. This is how a baby develops his nerves and grows healthy. 

The physical touch and hugs with the baby release oxytocin, a hormone associated with relaxation and stress reduction. So, the gentle massage can help ij lowering the baby’s heart beat and regulate a normal blood flow, which then promotes a sense of calmness. This further helps the baby for a good and healthy sleep. 

Create a profound bond with your baby.
