What are the Psychological Benefits of Non-Nutritive Sucking?
NNS is not only beneficial for physical development but also has positive psychological effects. It can help in self-soothing and stress reduction, promoting a sense of comfort and security. This is particularly important for neonates who have undergone medical procedures or are in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), as it can enhance their overall well-being and facilitate bonding with caregivers.
