"The stark institutional isolation prevalent in the orphanages of some countries might have mostly melted away decades ago, but many babies and young children all over the world still grow up in environments where touch and emotional engagement are lacking. Many children who have not had ample physical and emotional attention are at higher risk for behavioral, emotional and social problems as they grow up." https://www.scientificamerican.com/a.../infant-touch/
The article emphatically describes the benefits of touch to both baby and caregivers.
