I was out looking for baby gifts for Ethan, my friend’s son who’s turning 1 this Saturday. The last time I saw Ethan, he and mom just got back from a doctor’s appointment, where he got his first vaccine shot. I saw traces of tears on his face – vaccine days are never fun for babies, and certainly not for moms either!

Infant stress is real, and it can be caused by pain such as a vaccine shot or lack of sleep caused by colic or even when the baby’s not getting enough cuddles and physical touch from parents. When a baby’s stressed, it’s best to have in hand a cuddly toy like the huggable Love Ewe Plush Lamb which also comes with a lovie blanket.

Do you know that when a baby’s stress hormones are up, his brain development is affected and they’ll grown up overreacting to stress which results to more health risks in the future?  The key to preventing stress in infants is simple – pamper your baby with a lot of loving human contact from the day he is born. Studies show that when a baby receives a lot of physical attention from his parents, a strong bond is created which later on translates to love and respect.

So help your babies develop into healthy individuals – they’ll thank you for it when they’re older. And there’s no mystery on how this can be done – just shower your baby with love and affection every day!
