Babies don’t like to touch grass with their feet.

The answer is very simple, grass makes babies like “sensory overload”. During the first years of life, a baby’s nervous system is still in constant adjustment, developing very rapidly in terms of sensation, sight, touch… This experience is recognized by many experts, including Michael Pollan, Author of “How to Change Your Mind”. The feeling, he says, is no different than when levels of psilocybin are high, which puts a strain on the nervous system. The tingling feeling of your feet touching the grass, both rough and wet, too much at the same time.

Another study from Yale University looked at babies’ reactions to various objects, including plants. They found that when babies were exposed to plants, they took longer to decide if they should touch them than with other objects.

There is a reason behind this interesting response.

In fact, even adults can hardly avoid the tingling and wet feeling when they come into contact with grass. So it’s no surprise that a baby’s first exposure to grass can prove to be very difficult.

Gina Posner, pediatrician at MemorialCare Orange Coast Medical Center in Fountain Valley, California, USA, says:The texture and feel of thorny grass is a far cry from the soft and pleasant feel of carpet, brick, wood, feet, and human hands. Therefore, babies are often afraid when exposed to grass“.

In addition, grass can also cause itching in both adults and children, even rashes. This can make it difficult for young children to crawl or play on the grass.

A study, published in the journal Cognition assume that babies are skeptical of plants in general. The study authors also noted that:Babies less than 8 months old seem to be more reluctant to explore plants with their hands than other entities“.
