Paying attention to your little one and respecting what pleases him is a good way to strengthen the loving bond between you and make your baby happy. These are the 10 things babies love.
1. Being naked
There are children who only need to take off their clothes and diapers to relax. Babies have a permanent body-emotion connection and, in the absence of words, their bodies express all their emotions. Therefore, when children are naked, they are more receptive and expressive. Also, the sensations are not the same with clothes. And willing to explore, the fewer intermediaries between them and the world, the better.
2. Being sheltered
This feeling reminds you of your life in the womb. During the first weeks of life, many babies feel comforted when we wrap them (we make them like small blocks), because they love to be collected and have a lot of contact area. In no time they feel more secure in their new world and soon they will enjoy moving more freely.
3. Mom’s skin Mom’s
hug is the best solution for almost any problem. Many studies show that direct skin-to-skin contact between mother and child balances the baby’s body temperature, heart rate, and helps release endorphins and oxytocin, hormones of love and pleasure. And it not only benefits him: we release the same hormones.
4. The monotonous noise The monotonous
sounds (that of the motor, the washing machine or even the dryer) recreate in many babies the noises of our body, with which they grew their first nine months of life relaxes them.
5. Music
It is a stimulus for learning: its low and high tones stimulate the baby’s neural connections and reorganize his brain. Harmonic sounds, dominated by high pitches, predispose the baby to learning.
6. Mom’s Scent
Many babies who have trouble sleeping relax when we put a garment of our own in their crib. The scent of the parents is the first thing that the baby catches at birth. Our lap is one of the most comfortable places for baby, feel safe with our scent.
7. Take a walk
The park environment makes them alert and takes them out of the routine atmosphere of the house. Sometimes, although they are small, they get bored with the daily activities of their home. For this reason, many babies who have not stopped crying for a while, when leaving the house for a moment, relax.
8. Try everything
The baby’s mouth is ‘the third eye’: at this stage it helps him to know the world around him. When sucking, the child recognizes the objects for their taste, texture, density, weight… Information that the simple glance cannot provide.
9. Lulling Him
It is a monotonous and rhythmic movement that connects with security and balance, in all senses. It works its deepest neural connections and also the predictable and monotonous rhythms connect with the stability of the child. The baby feels confident, and the more familiar the situation or rhythm is, the more relaxed he is.
10. Mom’s voice
It is something unique for the baby: it contains music, high tones that stimulate learning and, above all, the intention and desire to communicate with it. This is how he perceives it and, as soon as he is able to emit his first babble, the baby begins to establish his own language that in a short time you can easily decipher.
