Associations of sleep-related behaviors and the sleep environment at infant age one month with sleep patterns in infants five months later.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To characterize family and environmental correlates of sleep patterns that may contribute to differences in infant sleep.

Methods

We studied 313 infants in the Rise & SHINE (Sleep Health in Infancy & Early Childhood study) cohort. Our main exposures were the parent-reported sleep environment, feeding method and sleep parenting strategies at infant age one month. The main outcomes were nighttime sleep duration, longest nighttime sleep and number of awakenings measured by actigraphy at age six months. We used multivariable linear regression models to examine associations, and secondarily also explored the role of sleep-related environmental exposures in mediating previously observed associations of racial/ethnicity and parental education with infant sleep characteris
