According to a study from Washington State University Dutch babies laugh, smile and like to cuddle more than their American counterparts.
(The study found that U.S. infants, were typically more active and vocal, but Dutch babies demonstrated greater expressions of happiness during routine activities and were easier to calm or soothe when upset. The researchers hypothesize that Dutch infants' relatively calm demeanors were due in part to a more regulated sleep schedule and lower intensity activities.
I know which kind of baby I would prefer at 2 in the morning.)
