The Language of Touch: A Baby’s First Communication

From the moment they enter the world, babies communicate through touch before they ever form words. This silent language builds trust, security, and connection, laying the foundation for emotional and social development.

0–3 Months: Comfort & Bonding

3–6 Months: Exploring the World

6–12 Months: Expressing Through Touch

12+ Months: Touch as Communication

Before words are spoken, touch speaks volumes—offering security, love, and understanding in a way that lasts a lifetime.
