- Title
Understanding Infant Sleep: A Review of Two Distinctive Settling Strategies.
- Authors
Synnott, Emily; Preyde, Michèle
- Abstract
Normative infant sleep development and the basic sleep needs of infants were reviewed, as well as the factors influencing infant sleep. Two bedtime strategies debated by experts; the "cry-it-out" and the "attachment parenting" strategies were compared and analyzed based on scientific evidence available from past research, expert opinion, and personal observations made at a child care centre. Findings suggest that the success parents experience with any bedtime strategy may largely depend upon how the parent measures success. In addition, the use of these two distinctive settling strategies in a child care centre was explored and implications involve the benefits and challenges of employing the strategies in such a setting.
