Sleep habits in toddlers.
Sleep is a vital part in baby’s
well-being and health. It is required to support all the functions of the body
such as growth, brain function and development. If you need your child to grow
healthy, he should have at least 12 hours of sleep every day. This will ensure
that he is always alert and calm. However, the main aspect that you should
consider is the quality of sleep not the quantity.

Sleep Cycles |
You may have thought that when you sleep at night, your
brain is taking a break and sleeping too. That is not the case. While we sleep
we go through different stages. One of these stages that are not mentioned as
the other five is... "the waking sleep stage." This is when you are fully relaxed,
yet still awake, and your body is preparing for sleep. Once falling asleep, our muscles begin to lose the tension
it normally has, and our eyes begin to slow down to a roll. I have experience this stage of sleep before baby, it was glorious. Now since having a son who doesn't understand how important sleep for mommy. Almost 2 years old and he stills wakes up twice a nice. How can someone so small take so much room in a California king size bed?
