I Don’t Just Hug My Son’s Body: I ​​also Hug His Soul

Maybe that’s why, among all the hugs you’ve given in your life, those you dedicate to your baby are, without a doubt, the most special, the most intense and at the same time powerful.

One thing you know very well is that holding your little one’s fragile body goes far beyond the simple act of carrying or holding him while you feed him. A hug is the fusion of two hearts.

With this gesture you go beyond your child’s skin to reach his soul. To hold her very tight and caress her while leaving his mark forever.

In the future, when you are free, brave and run the paths he or she chooses, you will remain there. In a privileged corner of your heart.

A place you marked in him when you were very young through a healthy, strong and eternal love that will whisper every day how much he is worth and what he deserves.

As the mother or father that you are, don’t waste a second of your little one’s first years of life to allow them to start seeing the world from the safest place in the universe: your arms.

1. I give myself permission to caress your soul

You have the full right to caress your baby’s soul from the first moment he arrives in the world. In fact, more than a right, it is an obligation.

By placing it on your skin and surrounding it with your enveloping embrace, you welcome that life. At that moment, he will feel the heat and his instincts will wake up to look for food

You, in turn, will respond in awe, wondering how something so small could be so perfect.

This first contact between the two of you goes beyond a mutual discovery. It is the moment in which the bond is consolidated and in which the attachment already establishes its first foundations.

You will be amazed and, with each caress, leaves the brushstrokes of your infinite love. Affections that shape the shape of your soul and the bond that will unite you forever.

2. I give myself permission to be your home, your refuge, your protective world

When you hug your child, in the silence of these shared afternoon naps, you are demonstrating that your hug is home.

In this magical space contained in your torso, your breasts and the skin of your arms, there is a whole map of affections in which your child will grow day by day, month by month.

He won’t be better anywhere else during the first period of the life cycle. So, don’t spare hugs, don’t save them, don’t forget them.

Because a hug is just as important as breastfeeding. With hugs, you support the baby’s neurological development and reinforce a safer emotional world.

3. I give myself permission to demonstrate everything you deserve

A hug is the daily reaffirmation of a bond. It’s a wordless “I love you” . It’s a “I’ll be with you always” and a “you are the most important person in my life”.

It is quite possible that you are already saying all these things by looking at your baby or whispering in her ear. This type of emotional expressiveness is intended to demonstrate to the child everything he or she deserves.

Every child deserves sincere and constant affection, protection, care and security. Therefore, you deserve our trust and deserve to understand that life awaits you, that life loves you and that great things await you, wonderful things.

4. I give myself permission to accept that one day you will no longer be in my arms

As a mother or father, you know very well that the day will come when you will need to let your child go. After the first steps, the first races will arrive.

Then the games with friends, the afternoons you have to pick him up from school, the first excursions, etc. Little by little, the time will come when he or she will choose their own path on other maps, in other cities.

After all, our children are also children of life. Sooner or later, she demands them for herself. To open doors for them to new knowledge and experiences far from us.

It’s something you know and accept. Because you understand well that your task will be done. Because in every hug you gave, a part of you was left. Because you know you also know that when you least expect it, your child will have grown up and will give you one of those hugs that will lift you off the ground.

He will be tall, he will be free, he will be a beautiful person who will certainly not forget where his roots are. The ones you fed with each hug, each caress, with each smile so that you can be the most perfect being in this world: your child…
