Few objective data are available regarding infants' night waking behaviors and the development of self-soothing during the first year of life. This cross-sectional study examined 80 infants in one of four age groups (3, 6, 9, or 12 mo) for four nights by using videosomnography to code nighttime awakenings and parent-child interactions. A large degree of variability was observed in parents' putting the infant to bed awake or asleep and in responding to vocalizations after nighttime awakenings. Most infants woke during the night at all ages observed. Younger infants tended to require parental intervention at night to return to sleep, whereas older infants exhibited a greater proportion of self-soothing after nighttime awakenings. However, even in the 12-month-old group, 50% of infants typically required parental intervention to get back to sleep after waking. Results emphasize the individual and contextual factors that effect the development of self-soothing behavior during the first year of life.
关于婴儿夜间醒来行为以及一岁内自我安抚能力的发展，目前几乎没有客观数据。这项横断面研究通过视频多导睡眠图对80名四个年龄组（3、6、9或12个月）中的婴儿进行了四晚的观察，记录夜间觉醒情况和亲子互动。在父母哄婴儿入睡时婴儿是清醒还是睡着，以及夜间觉醒后对婴儿发声的反应方面，观察到了很大程度的差异。在所有观察的年龄段中，大多数婴儿夜间都会醒来。年龄较小的婴儿夜间往往需要父母干预才能重新入睡，而年龄较大的婴儿夜间觉醒后自我安抚的比例更高。然而，即使在12个月大的组中，50%的婴儿醒来后通常仍需要父母干预才能重新入睡。研究结果强调了影响一岁内自我安抚行为发展的个体因素和环境因素。
