Effects of Parent Training on Infant Sleeping Patterns, Parents' Stress, and Perceived Parental Competence.

Wolfson, Amy; And Others

Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, v60 n1 p41-48 Feb 1992

Assigned 60 couples to training group learning behavioral strategies to promote healthy sleep patterns in infants or to control group. At 6-9 weeks, training group infants displayed significantly better sleeping patterns than did control infants. Training group parents awakened and responded less often to infant signaling and reported greater parental competence. Control parents indicated increased stress over time. (Author/NB)
