What we know
You are not alone. Up to 30% of parents report that their child between the ages of 0-12 years has sleep issues. (Galland Taylor, Elder, & Herbison, 2012).
These child sleep problems also affects the well-being of their mothers. (Lam, Hiscock, & Wake, 2003)
Sleep problems at the age of 6-12 months predicted sleep and behavioral issues at age 3-4 years. (Lam et al. 2003)
Sleep awakenings in infants and toddlers predicted sleep and self- regulation difficulties throughout maturity. (Weinraub et al. 2012)
