A study comparing infant care revealed that the amount of stimulation babies receive affects their sleep  At six months of age, the babies in the study with a less stimulating daytime routine slept an average of two hours more per day than those with a more stimulating routine
Since sleep plays a very important role in a child' s development, parents would be wise to reduce the amount of stimulation their babies receive
Babies with less stimulating routines usually get extra sleep during the day.
