For infants, cuddling is vital for several reasons: 1. Attachment: It helps establish a secure attachment, which is the foundation for healthy relationships. 2. Sleep Patterns: Cuddling can help regulate sleep patterns, making it easier for infants to transition between sleep and wakefulness. 3. Breastfeeding: Skin-to-skin contact can encourage successful breastfeeding by stimulating milk production and making the baby feel safe.
