Baby socks, essential in their first months.
Babies are born biologically functional; however, some bodily functions do not fully develop until after birth.
Socks... And little feet.
Thermoregulation in babies does not work like that of adults, so it is harder for them to warm the farthest areas such as hands and feet. This means that these areas usually get the coldest in a baby’s body, contrary to popular belief. To avoid excessive cold, baby socks exist to keep the feet warm and protected.
At birth, a baby’s feet are more sensitive than their hands, and it is only after a few months that this sensitivity lessens compared to the hands. Socks also protect babies from uncomfortable stimuli on their feet that may bother them due to their high sensitivity. This sensitivity exists because the feet are the first part of the body babies use to interact with the world during their first months of life.
Socks yes, shoes no.
Unlike socks, it is not recommended to put shoes on babies before they start walking because the skin of newborns is much more delicate and shoes can cause chafing. Additionally, shoes can squeeze the foot and reduce space between toes, which can lead to poor foot development.
An interesting fact.
It should be noted that tickling a baby’s feet is not always good due to their high sensitivity. Constant tickling can cause discomfort and annoyance in babies if done continuously. It is best to tickle gently in the form of caresses, preferably when they are more inclined to play, for example: during bath time or even when changing their diaper. Some parents tickle their babies intentionally to tease them as a trick to keep them awake when it is not appropriate.
