(diffferent types of fabric, ie, satin, terry cloth, knit etc....) there is also a sensory brush but i don't know about it's use on babies. the reason i say this is that my children both have a sensory deficiency. my little one, jerald, goes to occupational therapy once a week for sensory input. which is really nothing more than alot of fun play activities that incorporate the senses. in the information i was given to read for jerald, they mentioned a link between c-section babies and sensory deficiits. they claim that alot of sensory input occurs when the baby is pushed through and out of the birth canal which c-section babies obviously miss. i don't know how true this is but the sensory input can't hurt her.
