No That’s absolutely rubbish please do not believe all these things but yes I do agree that at this age a child should have a minimum sleep of 12 hours that is good for the growth of the child has got no connection with the brain necessarily for overall growth it is important that your child should sleep for 12 hours even if your child is sleeping at a stretch then also it is fine
