All kinds of different sensory stimuli have a positive effect on the brain development of the baby and make the baby smarter.
2. How old is the baby to sleep naked?
The newborn baby has less subcutaneous fat, weak thermal insulation and poor resistance, so it is not recommended to sleep naked.
After one year old, the baby’s body temperature regulation ability is enhanced and he can sleep naked at room temperature of 20 ℃ ~ 25 ℃.
3. What should the baby do to sleep naked?
The baby’s naked sleep does not mean that it is enough to simply take off his close-fitting clothes. The preparation before falling asleep is also very important:
