"Peter Wolff, a well-known pediatrician and researcher who completed countless studies of newborns and their behavior, observed that temperature has an important effect on the amount of time babies sleep and on their crying. Babies kept at warmer temperatures, he found, cried less and slept more than those subjected to cooler environments."
Obviously, do NOT overheat.

Wondering if there may be a correlation between your baby's sleep difficulties and the fairly recent practice giving babies bottles that haven't been warmed. Am also thinking that warming the bottle may reduce the risk of colic.

It doesn't appear that the above pediatrician is spouting old wives tales, much to the chagrin of the hostile poster. [/quote]

But he isn't saying you need to heat up bottles of formula.  He's saying babies sleep deeper in warmer environments- which is true, and is thought to be one of the reasons for SIDS actually. It doesn't have anything to do with YOUR old wives tale that you bring up in the next paragraph. [/quote]
