Downtime for baby
Article Abstract:
Babies need some time to themselves, during which they detach from the world around them, process and absorb information and observe their environment. Such solitude also offers physical rest that is important for their well-being and general functioning and allows them to develop self-regulating skills such as falling asleep on their own.
