Abstract in brief

  • The study examined the long-term effects of a behavioral intervention for infant sleep problems on mothers' depression levels, parenting style, and child mental health at age 2, finding that mothers who received the intervention were less likely to report clinical depression symptoms compared to those who received usual care.
  • Despite improvements in maternal depression, there were no significant differences between the intervention and control groups concerning parenting practices or child mental health, although fewer children in the intervention group continued to have sleep problems.
  • The results suggest that early sleep interventions can have lasting benefits for maternal mental health without negatively affecting parenting or children's psychological well-being.]
