Why do babies enjoy being held?

Why does someone rubbing your head or playing with your hair relax them?

There are things that are hardwired into our bodies from the time we're born and they just don't go away..

Being (lightly) smashed or squeezed is one of those things.

A weighted blanket is close enough to get a response in some people.

Others, not so much.

A weighted blanket doesn't do a whole lit for me (m) but really helps my wife's anxiety.
