Infant sleep behaviors, specifically a self-soothing/signaling index, can predict night waking in toddlers. This finding suggests early sleep patterns are key indicators of later sleep disturbances.

Area of Science:

  • Developmental Psychology
  • Pediatric Sleep Medicine

Background:

  • Sleep disturbances are common in early childhood.
  • Predicting the trajectory of infant sleep is crucial for early intervention.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate if infant sleep patterns predict toddlerhood sleep problems.
  • To propose a classification scheme for childhood sleep issues.

Main Methods:

  • Videotaped infant sleep at 12 months (n=33) to create a self-soothing/signaling index.
  • Telephone interviews at 39 months to assess toddler sleep patterns and problems.

Main Results:

  • The infant self-soothing/signaling index at 12 months significantly predicted night waking at approximately 39 months.
  • Early sleep behaviors show predictive validity for later sleep issues.

Conclusions:

  • Infant sleep behaviors may predict toddler night waking.
  • The proposed classification scheme for childhood sleep problems requires further validation.
