"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.

Repeat:

But a "warm room" [I]is[/I] overheating, in this context. Cuddlier is not necessarily safer or better.

You can't just move the goalposts and make it mean whatever you want, you know.  ???[/quote]
What "warm room" are you talking about? 70 degrees?

The first question is what OP means by "warm." Presumably, by quoting Wolff in the first post, she is promoting his ideas (also from back in the 1960s and 1970s, by the way -- before SIDS was even defined). Wolff's proposed ideal temperatures do not stand up well to the data we have regarding bet practices to reduce SIDS.[/quote]
You don't even know what his "proposed temperature" was, so what are you talking about?[/quote]
