New Japanese research has found that even when children are as young as four months old, a hug from a parent can lower their heart rate and help calm them.
In addition, hugging also seemed to help relax the parents.
Babies younger than four months didn’t show the same reduction in heart rate during a hug, but they did show a slower heart rate when a parent put their hand on their back while being held. The researchers say this suggests that babies of this age can’t distinguish between being held and being hugged like older infants.
