High touch sounds good in theory, but in practice I think the baby should start to learn to live on it's own...too much "high touch" will cause the parents to be zombies...LOL
Well, high touch had been shown to benefit the baby’s physical development and contributes to a positive attachment relationship between the mom.
- They gain more weight and had larger increases in body length and head circumference.
- Stimulated infants had fewer illnesses and clinic visits.
- Gentle touch has been shown to facilitate physical and psychological functioning, particularly in terms of reducing stress, relieving pain, increasing the ability to cope, and general health ratings.
- Participants in a study examining the effectiveness of therapeutic touch as a treatment for managing pain due to fibromyalgia experienced a significant decrease in pain and reported a significant improvement in quality of life.
