We receive tactile information all over our body, but especially through the mouth, hands, and feet. For your little one, it\u2019s one of the first ways he learns about himself and the world. Before we explore how it develops, let\u2019s take a look at how it helps us function.<\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><b><i>Highlights:\u00a0<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The sense of touch, also known as tactile sense, is one of the first ways babies learn about themselves and the world.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our tactile sense helps us navigate our surroundings, identify objects by touch, detect different temperatures, determine varying pressure, and feel pain.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A baby is born with an ultra-sensitive tactile sense.

If we are in a crowd, we consistently adjust our position based on feeling ourselves come into contact with others.<\/li>\n<li>Identify objects by the way they feel \u2014 Without looking, you can reach into your bag, rummage around, and pull out a pen based on its texture, shape, and size.<\/li>\n<li>Register temperature \u2014 You put on a sweater when the wind picks up, or pull a spoonful of too-hot soup away from your mouth before burning your tongue.<\/li>\n<li>Determine light vs. deep pressure \u2014 You know it\u2019s time to buy new pants because the ones you have feel too tight. You form an idea about someone\u2019s personality by the firmness of their handshake.<\/li>\n<li>Feel pain \u2014 Being able to register pain helps us avoid danger and take care of ourselves when we get hurt.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How the Tactile Sense Develops<\/h2>\n<p>Your baby\u2019s sense of touch begins to develop when he\u2019s still in the womb\u2014around week 7. As soon as he\u2019s born, your little one starts learning about himself and the world through his ultra-sensitive tactile sense. That\u2019s why holding him <a href=\"https:\/\/administrator.babysparks.com\/2019\/03\/09\/the-benefits-of-skin-to-skin\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">skin-to-skin<\/a> or giving him a <a href=\"https:\/\/administrator.babysparks.com\/2019\/02\/14\/baby-spa-the-benefits-of-infant-massage\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">massage<\/a> is so powerful. Every time he comes into contact with something, whether he\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/administrator.babysparks.com\/2016\/09\/14\/tummy-time-almost-as-essential-as-milk-to-your-babys-day\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">on his tummy<\/a> on a playmate or snuggled in your arms, he learns about his body, his surroundings, and <a href=\"https:\/\/administrator.babysparks.com\/2016\/08\/31\/healthy-attachment-brighter-future\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">human connection<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Your newborn\u2019s sense of touch is also the reason he turns his head and makes sucking movements if something brushes his cheek or lips. Known as the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/administrator.babysparks.com\/2016\/05\/10\/what-are-a-babys-primitive-reflexes-and-why-should-i-care\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">rooting reflex<\/a>,\u201d this is his way of finding the breast or bottle before he can see well enough to find it with his eyes.<\/p>\n<p>By the time he\u2019s 6 months old, a minute doesn\u2019t go by that your baby isn\u2019t grabbing something or putting it in his mouth. This helps him learn concepts like texture, shape, size, and temperature. Safely grabbing and mouthing things is an important part of his development, so shelf your dangly earrings and triple-check your <a href=\"https:\/\/administrator.babysparks.com\/2018\/03\/19\/babyproofing-how-to-set-up-a-safe-home\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">babyproofing<\/a>!<\/p>\n<p>When he graduates to <a href=\"https:\/\/administrator.babysparks.com\/2017\/04\/24\/crawling-a-key-step-for-sensory-motor-integration-fine-motor-skills-oral-motor-development\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">crawling<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/administrator.babysparks.com\/2017\/08\/10\/cruising-preparing-baby-for-first-independent-steps\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">cruising<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/administrator.babysparks.com\/2017\/12\/04\/babys-first-steps-how-why-babies-start-walking\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">walking<\/a>, he takes in tons of information through his hands and feet that helps him learn how to navigate his surroundings. He learns, for example, that he can walk more quickly on a carpet than a hard floor, because his feet have a better grip.<\/p>\n<p>As your baby grows into toddlerhood, you will notice that he stops putting things in his mouth and becomes more familiar and comfortable with various sensations. This is a sign of healthy <a href=\"https:\/\/administrator.babysparks.com\/2019\/02\/21\/sensory-integration-how-the-senses-work-together\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">sensory development<\/a>. If he seems overly sensitive to touch (grabs at his clothes as if they\u2019re uncomfortable, refuses to eat certain food textures, doesn\u2019t like to be touched) or under sensitive (craves tight hugs, doesn\u2019t appear to feel pain) a pediatric occupational therapist can offer guidance.<\/p>\n<h2>How to Support Your Child\u2019s Tactile Development<\/h2>\n<p>Healthy tactile development is all about becoming sensitized to a world full of sensations. As a parent or caregiver, you can nurture this by gently exposing your little one to a variety of tactile information.
