Cuddling helps the development of babies.

The little ones don't just need to eat and sleep. A lot of pampering is also needed for regular development of newborns, which was previously known intuitively. Now several scientific studies confirm it, that cuddling is not a habit but an important strategy to promote the development of newborns. The need for tenderness, common to many baby animals, is a need linked to the psychophysical development of newborns.

Not just caresses.

To create a relationship of intimacy with the little one, hugs, cuddles, kisses but also light massages and nursery rhymes and lullabies sung with sweetness are good.

A vital need.

The need to be gently caressed and reassured is a vital need for babies, just like satisfying hunger, which can affect the development of babies. Suffice it to say that baby carrier therapy, that is, being in close contact between the newborn and his mother, helps premature and underweight babies to overcome problems earlier.

Everything comes from the trauma of birth.

The sense of abandonment and despair felt by the baby at the moment of birth, when he suddenly finds himself in a completely new environment, can only be soothed by the cuddles of the mother. The relationship that is immediately created with the mother, through breastfeeding, being held in her arms, caresses and hugs, is an important emotional shelter for the newborn that gives him security. In this sense, rooming in the hospital is ideal for immediately creating this very close relationship.

It continues in the first years of life.

This need does not end in the first days of life but continues afterwards, for at least the first years of the child's life. It is therefore important that mum and dad reserve moments of intimacy and contact for the little one that reassure him. The message that passes to the little one is that, in case of difficulty, there is always someone who takes care of him and that he is never alone.
