Babies have a need for touch that is essential for proper growth and development.

I have a friend who became a certified massage therapist because she saw what an impact touch had on her grandmother when she was in the hospital. Something as simple as massaging her grandmother's feet brought such comfort. Touch is important.
AMEN...I love snuggling with babies.
