Sensory systems need two kinds input to develop: genetic instructions and stimulation from the environment. All of the senses except for vision are stimulated in the womb. The sense of touch is the first sensory system to develop in the womb and is likely the most mature at birth. Newborns have a highly developed sense of touch. Most of the newbornâs innate reflexes are stimulated by touch. Swaddling works to calm newborns because of the sense of touch. Holding, rocking and rhythmic stroking are all ways to calm and connect with babies. It is likely that touch lays the foundation for the parent-child bond. The first contact babies have after birth affects their growth and development.
For a first pregnancy you will probably be aware of something at around 18 to 20 weeks. For subsequent pregnancies, when you know the tell-tale signs, first movements can be felt earlier, at around 15 to 18 weeks. As the weeks go by, your baby's activity will gradually increase.
