The brain grows through use, and with a baby, they are developing their senses, so frequent baths are a great way to engage in your baby’s brain growth!
🛀Water provides pressure and gives the body full input!
💦Helping them splash-engages their motor activity and increases their curiosity! Movement through water creates vestibular input at varying planes as a child gets older!
💦Wet washcloth allows you to stimulate the top of their head and face to connect with their body!
💦Spraying their body introduces them to a new sensation, and make sure to get the bottoms of their feet stimulated as well!
💦You can always add massage into bath time as well to improve vagal tone (we will get into this in future posts)
All of this enhanced sensory input aids in the child’s body awareness and development in motor learning.
🧠Stimulating your baby’s brain, makes your baby calmer and happier!!!
