Perché funziona
Warm, affectionate physical contact during the first months of life directly supports emotional regulation and attachment formation. Maternal warmth expressed through gentle touch has been linked to better positive affect regulation and social development (Davidov & Grusec, 2006). Physical affection activates bonding hormones and helps infants feel safe and loved.
Consigli per i genitori
Keep your touch gentle and your movements slow. This helps your child relax and feel secure.
Pay attention to their cues. If they seem fussy, try lighter pressure or a different area.
Room temperature matters. Make sure your child is warm enough to be comfortable without clothes.
