Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study will inform the field about underlying mechanisms associated with infant sleep problems and will deepen the understanding of the intervention process. The study will provide detailed information on the intervention process itself and will explore how behavioral sleep interventions affect broader infant outcome.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Clinical group-"presence" intervention

The "Presence" intervention is based on based on the principles of graduated extinction, which has been defined has been defined as "effective and recommended therapy in the treatment of bedtime problems and night wakings" by the Standard of Practice Committee of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

"presence"

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

constant presence of the parent in the child's room throughout the night during the first week of the intervention. In addition to sleeping near the child's crib, the parents repeat the same routines as in the "checking" method if the child is actively protesting or crying.

Clinical group-"checking" intervention

The "Checking" training is based on the principles of graduated extinction, which has been defined has been defined as "effective and recommended therapy in the treatment of bedtime problems and night wakings" by the Standard of Practice Committee of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

"checking"

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

putting the child into the crib at bedtime and leaving the room with repeated quick visits every 5 minutes if the child is actively protesting or crying, providing brief reassurance, helping the child to resume a sleeping position.

Control Group

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION
