The skin is the largest sensory organ of the body. Touch is one of the primary senses – it is a primary need and the baby’s most important means of communication. Babies respond to the way that they are touched and handled and the way in which they are touched and handled by parents and the amount of time spent handling them has been seen to have an effect on the child’s disposition.

Babies are especially responsive to reflexology. Many mothers will instinctively rub their children’s feet and hands when their child is cranky, crying, or uncomfortable. Reflexology works very well for most babies. Reflexology is effective and safe, it is based on the principle that reflex points found on the feet and hands correspond to specific organs, muscles, bones and body systems.
