The Impact of Naps on Baby's Cognitive Function: What You Need to Know

A recent study conducted at the University of East Anglia suggests that an increased frequency of naps in babies may lead to a smaller vocabulary and slower cognitive function. However, researchers advise against shortening nap times and instead encourage parents to allow their children to nap naturally and for as long as they need. Monitoring a baby's sleep patterns and consulting a pediatrician if there are any concerns is recommended. It is important to establish a consistent sleep schedule to ensure optimal growth and development.
