Afternoon Outing 'Helps Baby Sleep at Night'

Babies exposed to daylight in the afternoons are much more likely to sleep better at night than those who are not, a study revealed today.
Taking a baby to the park or simply outside was found to dramatically improve both the child and consequently the parents’ levels of nocturnal sleep.
And a baby who slept well at six weeks was likely to be a good sleeper at nine and 12 weeks.
The research, published in December’s issue of the Journal of Sleep Research, was carried out by Yvonne Harrison at the School of Psychology at Liverpool John Moores University.
