Sleep is crucial for the growth and development of the child, both during pregnancy and later in the first years of life. Although the fetus sleeps a lot, sleep needs and patterns change dramatically after birth.

In particular, the main variations in sleep occur with a variation in the natural circadian rhythm of sleep-wake and dream activity. 

Watching a sleeping baby is a wonderful experience. But what goes on behind those closed little eyes? The more one studies this question, the more one discovers that babies are great dreamers.

The pursuit and adoption of a regular sleep pattern is important for the healthy growth of the child and its physical and emotional development.
