Baby touch is already a household name, and there is all kinds of information available online, so I won’t go into the details of how to do it in this article. I just feel that many families are moving away from the true meaning of touch! The focus of this article is to explain the misconceptions that parents have about baby touch. Myth 1: Touch is only to promote baby’s development, ignoring the importance of parental involvement Currently many parents have understood the benefits of touch for babies, such as promoting baby’s development, improve baby’s immunity, improve baby’s digestive function and so on. However, with the widespread use of baby touch by sister-in-laws, early childhood education institutions, and baby swimming institutions, more and more parents are leaving the touching of their babies to others, ignoring the benefits that touching brings to parents. This is because only when parents touch their babies themselves can they improve their observation of their babies, become more confident, improve communication with their babies, and relieve the stress of both parents and children. Through the skin and skin contact, in order to let the baby feel the love of parents, a sense of security, and promote the establishment of a good parent-child relationship. Myth 2: Touch ignores the baby’s state There are six states of the baby, including crying, light sleep, deep sleep, quiet awakening, active awakening, and sleepy. The best results can only be achieved when the baby is awake and happy to do touch. Do not do it for your baby when he or she is crying, hungry, sleepy, or asleep. It is very important that the most basic physiological needs of babies should be met first. Only when the baby is in a happy mood is the process of doing touch an enjoyable experience for both the baby and the parents to realize the various benefits of touch. Myth 3: Touch becomes a mechanical operation The process of touch is the process of emotional communication, is to bring quiet and comfort to the baby, so the focus of touch is not how to operate, not to mention the same old head-to-toe process. Touch to create a warm and comfortable environment, to start with the most relaxed position of the baby and parents, so start with the baby’s favorite position, can be holding, lying or lying down. Most babies are more receptive to gently starting with their hands and feet, then their limbs, chest and back, and finally their face. In short, only when touch becomes a medium for transmitting love – loving touch – will your baby be healthier and you will be the best nurturer!
