Infant sleep is a major source of concern for many parents. The aims of this longitudinal study were to assess: (a) the development of sleep patterns among infants, (b) the development of maternal cognitions regarding infant sleep, and (c) the relations between these domains during the 1st year of life. Eighty-five mothers were recruited during pregnancy and completed a questionnaire aimed at assessing maternal sleep-related cognitions. After delivery (at 1, 6, and 12 months) sleep was assessed using actigraphy and sleep logs, and maternal cognitions were reassessed. The findings demonstrated significant predictive and concomitant links between maternal cognitions and infant sleep. Maternal soothing behaviors mediated the relations between these domains.
婴儿睡眠是许多家长主要关心的问题。这项纵向研究的目的是评估：（a）婴儿睡眠模式的发展；（b）母亲对婴儿睡眠认知的发展；以及（c）在生命的第一年中这些领域之间的关系。八十五名母亲在孕期被招募，并完成了一份旨在评估母亲与睡眠相关认知的问卷。分娩后（1个月、6个月和12个月时），使用活动记录仪和睡眠日志评估睡眠情况，并对母亲的认知进行重新评估。研究结果表明，母亲的认知与婴儿睡眠之间存在显著的预测性和伴随性联系。母亲的安抚行为在这些领域之间的关系中起中介作用。
