Hugs and cuddling have a great importance since our youngest age. There is a large body of research claiming that without contact, many babies would not survive. Feeling affection, love and warmth are essential for a baby’s health and development.
As a person who has issues with anxiety, hugs help me feel safe and loved. The comforting effect of a hug helps me relax. This is because I feel supported.
I love hearing from you!
