Sleep problems in young infants and maternal mental and physical health
Abstract
Aim: Sleep problems in the second 6 months of life are common and associated with maternal depression. This paper extends previous research to (i) establish the prevalence of sleep problems in younger infants from a broader socio‐economic spectrum, (ii) examine the relationship between infant sleep problems and maternal physical, as well as mental, health, and (iii) explore mothers’ sleep quality as a potential mediator of this relationship. Methods: Design: Cross‐sectional, community survey in Melbourne, Australia. Sample: Mothers of 3‐ to 6‐month‐old infants (mean 4.6 months) recruited from well‐child clinics in six sociodemographically diverse metropolitan local government areas. Outcome measures: Maternal mental and physical health; standardised questionnaire on infant sleep patterns; maternal report of an infant sleep problem (yes/no). Results: The survey was completed by 692 mothers; 237 (34%) reported an infant sleep problem, of whom 73 (31%) rated the problem as severe. Sleep patterns characterising a problem included the infant waking seven nights per week, nursing the infant to sleep at the beginning of the night, the infant sleeping in the parent’s room, and parental disagreement regarding managing infant sleep. There was no relationship between sleep problems and socio‐economic levels. Mothers reporting infant sleep problems had poorer mental and physical health compared with those not reporting sleep problems. Conclusion: Sleep problems are common in early infancy across metropolitan socio‐economic levels and are associated with poorer maternal health and well‐being. Preventive strategies for infant sleep problems need to begin early in primary care to improve mothers’ health.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
