In the past, many parents were not aware of giving their babies touch, but now scientific parenting people understand the many benefits of touch for babies. Reasonable touching of babies can stimulate their central nervous system, have positive physiological effects, and be beneficial for their growth. So, at what age can babies be touched?
After the baby is born, parents can give it touch. The critical period for giving touch to the baby is from 0 to 3 years old, and the earlier the touch is given, the more obvious the effect will be. Touching babies every day not only helps with their growth and development, but also enhances their immunity, promotes food digestion, and accelerates absorption. Regularly touching the baby can reduce crying and promote sleep.
Touching older babies is a great way to promote emotional communication and help them relax. After the baby is born, parents can touch them twice a day for about fifteen minutes each time, and parents should pay attention to the following three aspects when touching their baby:
1. Large area: When parents touch their babies, they should pay attention to the fact that the larger the area, the more positive stimulation it will provide to the baby.
2. Pay attention to the weight: The baby's skin is delicate, and parents should pay attention to the strength of their touch. The standard is that the baby does not hurt or itch.
3. The time is not fixed: parents can touch their babies at any time, or they can do it separately. They can touch their hands and feet while their babies are breastfeeding, or touch their backs while they are sleeping.
