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.
A child develops all five senses to some degree before he is born. Those which he has less opportunity to exercise in the womb, such as sight, develop more slowly, while those which constantly stimulate him tend to develop more quickly.Some may say that hearing is the first sense the child develops because he learns to recognize his mother's voice in the womb.However, another sense develops even more quickly and keenly: his sense of touch.ot only do newborns have a well-developed sense of touch, this sense is vital to their survival. According to Dr. Ben Benjamin, nearly all infants institutionalized in the United States in the early 1900s died from what is now called failure to thrive.
