“Daytime sleep doesn’t just ward off fussiness, it can also strengthen a baby’s ability to absorb new concepts. A new University of Arizona study found that 15-month-olds who napped were able to take information they’d been given earlier and apply it to a new situation (24 hours later, the no-nappers hadn’t retained any information). So how much should your munchkin be snoozing? Up to age 1, babies typically need two one to two-hour naps daily. Starting around 15 months, they typically require just one.” from Parents Magazine, December 2010
