Does a baby pretend to sleep?

BabyBuggySunhatSome babies do not like to be surrounded by a large group of people. They close their eyes and fall asleep or pretend to sleep. Many mothers find this annoying. They would like to show their friends that sweet smile and beautiful eyes. But it is not wise to wake up your baby if he shows you that he would rather sleep. You will notice that, as he grows older, he will like a group of people and by then everyone can see how fantastic he is.

Your baby's mental development is very important and significant. It affects not only your baby's mood, but also his health, his intelligence, his sleeping pattern, the three C’s (crying, clinginess, crankiness), and much more. Once you understand your baby’s mental development, you can help your baby in so many ways. If you would like to learn more about the mental development of your baby, order a copy of The Wonder Weeks, which is based on international research.
