Abstract in brief

  • The study examined how many infants sleep through the night (either 6 or 8 hours) at 6 and 12 months and whether this relates to their developmental progress or maternal mood, finding that a large portion of infants do not sleep through the night and that sleep patterns are not significantly linked to developmental outcomes or maternal depression.
  • Sleep through the night was associated with a reduced likelihood of breastfeeding, highlighting a potential trade-off between sleep consolidation and breastfeeding duration in infants.
  • The findings suggest that since many infants do not sleep through the night and no clear connection exists with development or maternal mood, early expectations for sleep patterns may need to be reconsidered or moderated for better parenting strategies.]
