What the study is about

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if providing sleep information and advice to expecting parents can increase sleep duration and decrease sleep problems in infants. The main questions it aims to answer is:

  • Does providing sleep information and advice to parents after birth enhance baby's total sleep duration over the 24-months study?
  • Which study group has fewer sleep problems (bedtime resistance, night waking frequency and duration, difficulty with naps) over the 24-month period?

Participants will

  • Receive regularly scheduled sleep information and advice emails
  • Complete weekly surveys for the first 8 weeks after birth
  • Complete monthly online surveys up to 24 months

Researchers will compare both intervention groups to a control group that received no information and advice to see if the information and advice had an impact on the child's sleep.

Being studied: Sleep Information and Advice 1; Sleep Information and Advice 2

Conditions: Sleep
