It would seem: what good is it in a private embrace? Well, caressed the baby a couple of times and enough. But no. Pediatricians have proven that in order for your baby to grow up healthy and happy, you need to hug him at least six times a day.
Studies have shown that the importance of maternal hugs is multifunctional: they stimulate the production of growth hormone, increase weight by up to 47%, improve digestion in children, reduce the number of colic in newborns, and also cause brain growth and affect the mood and behavior of children - they become less moody and more calm.
As it turned out, resistance to stress increases from hugs in babies, and positive character traits are formed: children become more responsive and sociable.
In order to debunk the existing misconception, scientists have proved that maternal caresses are no less useful for girls and for boys, because the latter, according to statistics of maternal hugs, get five times less.
