Ever wondered why mothers often say to their babies “I will eat you up” or cuddle, hold and smooch their chirldren all day long? A mother’s touch has so many benefits involved and that’s for both you and your child.
Better Sleeping Patterns
Many children are scared at night and don’t want to sleep away from their parents. When you as mother hold your child close in your arms, read a bedtime story or rock them to sleep, they will be calmer at night and automatically sleep better. Your presence in the room also creates a calmer atmosphere.
Happier Mood
Cuddling or hugging releases the hormone serotonin which makes us happy. No wonder mothers love to cuddle endlessly with their bundles of joy! It is proven that a single hug can evidently boost your mood, ease heartache and even boost your overall health. Happy mommy happy child.
Boost Self-Esteem
Being held close, laughing, hugging and cuddling creates a positive mindset. If you’re a happy person or in a good mood when being with your child, he or she will feel that and they will also be in a better mood and this will create a better and positive self-esteem.
Relieves Discomfort
A mother’s touch is so powerful. Have you noticed that when your child has a minor injury like a knee scrape that a single kiss from you as their mom instantly takes away the pain. Or when your baby cries and you pick him up he becomes calm? That is because you as the mother received a gift of healing powers. You know just how to help your child feel at ease when they got hurt or feel sad.

Lower Levels Of Stress and Anxiety
Even during adulthood when you are faced with a sticky situation you run to your parents for comfort. a Mother knows what to say to you to put your mind at ease again and help you see the light at the end of the tunnel.
Mother’s have a unique gift like no other and they know how to care for and nurture a child. They know how to love a child endlessly and raise them to be a perfect human being.
Take care,

Wow this is such a heartfelt post! I had no idea of these positive impacts but it makes perfect sense to me!
This is why the connection between a mother and a child is irreplaceable😊💕
Love your post. Their is definitely better than a touch of a Mother’s love. Whether that child is by birth or adoption. No matter what age we are. It does really help stress.
It is so true Janice. Nothing like a nice chat and cup of coffee with mom!
I’m experiencing as a grandmother some of what you describe for mothers, and I cuddle my very active 11-month-old grandson as much as he’ll let me. It’s such a privilege! Thanks for sharing.
The bond between grandparents and their grandchildren are unbreakable. It’s so special Beth, enjoy every moment❤
If a baby can subconsciously remember what her mom spoke to her when she was carrying her in her womb, surely everything a mom does is super special. And yes, mom’s touch is everything magical! You know – I remembered something funny. When my son was six months old and breast feeding, I used to wonder how he put up with the mixed smells – you know – a bit of breast milk, sweat in warm weather, all mixed with lingering soap and shampoo smells, etc. And it is really funny that he needed that special mixed fragrance to feel comfortable! Lovely post, Leana.
Haha that is so very true Vidya! They love and need us just the way we are and our scent is so calming to them even though we might not always agree to it 😂
I can totally agree with everything here. There sure is nothing like a mother’s touch. Even in my mid-twenties I still turn to my mom for comfort when I’m sick or upset. Moving out of her home when I was 25 was so difficult, knowing she wouldn’t always be in the next room if I needed her.
That’s very sweet Nicole. I also have a very nice bond with my mom and honestly going to the mall with her does bring me back to earth again.
