Deep touch pressure is not only a great way to bond with your baby, but it soothes while sharpening your baby's sensory skills. It refers to the kind of pressure that relates to holding, stroking, petting or swaddling to the arms, hands, backs, legs, and feet of a baby. It can help calm and comfort a fussy baby where as light touch pressure, like tickling, alerts the nervous system.
The many benefits of deep touch pressure:
- Heightens sensory awareness
- Promotes bonding and communication
- Can help baby have a better night's sleep
