March 1st is Baby Sleep Day
March 1st is Baby Sleep Day. The date was created by the World Association of Sleep Medicine (WASM), with the aim of raising awareness among parents, caregivers and health professionals about the importance of healthy sleep for the physical and emotional development of babies and young children.
Getting a good night's sleep in the first years of life is crucial for growth, emotional regulation and strengthening the immune system. The day draws attention to issues such as sleep routine, safety during rest, prevention of problems such as childhood insomnia and the impact of sleep on family dynamics.
The date is marked by global campaigns, lectures, workshops and publications that provide practical guidelines to promote healthy sleep for little ones. Among the topics covered, the creation of calm environments for sleep, the adoption of regular schedules and the importance of avoiding harmful habits, such as the use of screens before bed, stand out.
With the increase in discussions about child health and well-being, Baby Sleep Day becomes an opportunity to raise awareness in society about the role of sleep as a fundamental pillar in the quality of life of babies and the entire family.
