Babies in infancy have thin and tender skin, and their big round eyes look at adults, so they can't help but want to touch them. Maybe you don't know much about it. In fact, touching the baby is not only an adult instinct, but also meets the potential needs of the baby. Baby touching can also promote the baby's development to a certain extent.

Xiaolan's child is a premature baby. She left Ma Bao's uterus in a hurry before term. Later, I rested in the incubator for a long time, and all the indexes of my body gradually returned to normal. But in daily life, children's bodies have always been much weaker than their peers. Moreover, Xiao Minglan can clearly feel that the baby's mood is not very stable. As long as there is a little noise around, the baby will be scared white.

Later, by chance, Xiaolan learned that touching the baby often can make him feel more secure. For this kind of emotional instability, the baby effect is particularly good. So Xiaolan insisted on touching the baby every day according to the method taught by the doctor. After two or three months, Xiaolan obviously found that the baby's state was much more stable. Even gained weight. If it weren't for personal experience, Xiaolan wouldn't believe that a few simple touching actions can bring such great benefits to the baby.

What are the benefits of stroking a baby?

1. Stabilize the baby's mood

Parents who use gentle methods and often touch their babies will obviously stimulate the brain to secrete oxytocin. It can help the baby to stabilize his mood and his mood will be particularly peaceful. Get into the habit of touching your baby often. After a long time, your mood will calm down day by day, and you will naturally get rid of unstable emotions.

2. Promote parent-child relationship

Intimate relationships between people are often closely related to physical contact. Touching and stroking the baby's body often helps to build trust between them. Moreover, with the constant company of parents, children's sense of security can be greatly enhanced, and confident and cheerful babies are often cultivated in this way.

3. Promote the baby's physical growth and development

Touching your baby often can effectively promote gastrointestinal peristalsis. If the baby is often choked by milk, you might as well try to massage the baby's abdomen after meals. The baby's body absorbs nutrients more efficiently, and healthy growth and development is naturally not a problem.

What is the correct way to touch the baby?

1. Touch the baby's chest and abdomen.

If you feel cold, you can leave this action before going to bed at night. Of course, make sure your hands are warm, and then massage in circles from your baby's abdomen to your shoulders. Touch it three times in a circle. Generally, babies can massage 3 to 5 groups before going to bed.

Ps: Remember to move lightly to avoid making the baby uncomfortable.

Touch the baby's face

Facial touch is mainly divided into three parts:

The first part is forehead. It is recommended to gently touch your baby with your fingers from forehead to both sides of your forehead.

The second part is the baby's cheek. It is recommended to draw a circle on the baby's face with your fingertips.

The third part is the baby's face. Touch your fingertips or palms from the chin position on both sides of your baby's face to the temple.
