Modern medicine confirms that newborns possess astonishing behavioral capabilities and a mysterious, ever-changing inner world. From infancy, providing affectionate care through sight, sound, and touch fosters positive emotions and promotes healthy psychological development. What should new mothers do?
1. Make frequent eye contact with your baby. The eyes are the windows to the soul. Your baby's brain, containing billions of nerve cells, eagerly awaits information through these "windows." You'll notice they especially love looking at their mother's face. Studies show that babies who receive more attention from their mothers tend to be calmer and more cheerful, laying the foundation for a positive personality.When your baby wakes, gently call their name near their ear and speak softly: "Are you hungry, baby? Mommy will feed you milk"; "You wet your diaper, Mommy will change you"... Hearing your gentle voice, your baby will turn toward you with a look of comfort and contentment—this is their response to your sound.Hearing Mom's affectionate voice regularly makes babies feel secure and tranquil, laying the foundation for a positive disposition later in life. 3. Give your baby gentle caresses. A baby's skin is their third window to the soul. As the largest sensory organ on the body, the skin acts as an external receptor for the brain. Gentle touch silently transmits a warm current of love through Mom and Dad's hands to the child's body, brain, and heart.This touch nourishes the baby's skin while generating signals of safety and sweetness in the brain, acting as a catalyst for intellectual and healthy psychological development.
You may notice that children frequently touched and embraced by their mothers tend to be gentle, calm, and well-behaved.
