It’s essential to healthy brain development
Sleep is essential to a baby's healthy brain development. It helps the brain to process, store and integrate new information. Sleep also helps the baby to form strong connections between neurons, which is vital for learning and memory.
It promotes wellness and wellbeing
In addition to promoting healthy brain development, sleep also helps the baby to regulate its hormone levels, which are important for physical growth and development.
Sleep also promotes healthy immune system functioning. Babies who sleep well are generally healthier than those who don't.
It can help regulate emotions
Sleep also helps the baby to regulate its emotions, allowing the baby to respond appropriately to emotional situations. It also helps the baby to develop self-regulation skills and cope with stress.
More secure relationships
In addition, self soothing can help babies become more secure in their relationships with their parents and caregivers. When they are able to calm themselves down, they are less likely to become overly dependent on their parents for emotional support, and instead, can begin to form a secure attachment.
It helps to regulate their emotions
Finally, self soothing can help babies learn how to regulate their emotions in the future. When they are able to calm themselves down in the present, it can help them learn how to respond to their emotions in the future, which can help them develop better self-regulation and emotional intelligence.
