“…The current sample was drawn from a larger sample of 102 infants participating in a longitudinal study starting at 1 month through 24 months (Reeb-Sutherland et al, 2011; Reeb-Sutherland, Levitt, & Fox, 2012; Sorondo & Reeb-Sutherland, 2015; Yoo & Reeb-Sutherland, 2013).

In infancy, use of gesture and the ability to engage in joint attention with others both predict later language development. Conceptually, gesture and joint attention abilities may reflect a similar underlying social communicative skill. However, these abilities are often studied separately. Despite the fact that gesture is often used in episodes of joint attention, little is known about the degree to which measures of gesture use and joint attention ability are associated with one another or how they similarly, or differentially, predict children's language abilities. Participants in the current study were 53 infants. At 12-months, multiple measures of infants' gesture use were gleaned from a free-play interaction with a parent. Infants' responding to and initiating joint attention were measured via the Early Social-Communicative Scales (ESCS, Mundy et al., 2003). Infants' expressive and receptive language was measured at 24-months with the Mullen Scales of Early Learning (Mullen, 1995). A factor analysis including gesture and joint attention measures indicated that at 12-months joint attention, particularly responding to joint attention, reflects a similar underlying construct with infant gesture use, yet they uniquely predict later language ability.

“…Parental mental health, especially maternal depression and fatigue and family dysfunction and stress have been associated with shorter sleep duration (day, night and 24-hour period) and longest sleep period (night), and more night wakings and WASO (Armitage et al, 2009;Baird et al, 2009;Brand et al, 2014;Dennis & Ross, 2005;Goldberg et al, 2013;Gress-Smith et al, 2012;Hughes et al, 2015;Karraker & Young, 2007;Loutzenhiser et al, 2015;Mao et al, 2011;Nevarez et al, 2010;O'Connor et al, 2007;Piteo et al, 2013;Saenz et al, 2015;Sinai & Tikotzky, 2012;Sorondo & Reeb-Sutherland, 2015;Warren et al, 2006). Depressed mothers may be less able to deal with family actives, namely infant sleep-wake behaviour (Piteo et al, 2013).…”

This paper aims to provide a systematic review of the literature on the associated factors with infant sleep-wake behaviour during the first 12 months of life, namely (1) the factors positively and negatively associated with sleep-wake behaviour and (2) the factors positively and negatively affected by sleep-wake behaviour. This systematic review was based on a standard protocol constructed according with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) statement and included 146 papers. Two typologies of factors were found in the literature: factors positively and negatively associated with infant sleep-wake behaviour and effects of sleep-wake behaviour. Different factors were identified as being positively and negatively associated with the different sleep-wake behaviours and positively and negatively affected by the different sleep-wake behaviours during the first 12 months of life. Some inconsistent results could be explained by methodological differences between the studies.

“…Infant sleep quality and development can be modulated by a number of biopsychosocial factors [23]. These factors include inherited child's characteristics, such as temperament [24] or chronotype [19], perinatal characteristics such as season of birth [25] or photoperiod [26], and environmental characteristics such as parental stress [27]. Following this line of research, our recent study reported that some maternal risk factors during pregnancy are related to infants' sleep difficulties at three months of age [28].…”

The role of parental circadian preference in the onset of sleep difficulties in early childhood

et al. 2019

Background: Chronotype is a construct contributing to individual differences in sleep-wake timing. Previous studies with children have found that evening-types exhibit greater sleep difficulties. Infant sleep quality can be modulated by several factors, such as parental characteristics. We examined the association between parental circadian preference and sleep in early childhood. Methods: This study was based on a longitudinal birth cohort, with several measurement points. We used information regarding parental questionnaires during pregnancy and children's sleep measures at three, eight, 18 and 24 months. In total, 1220 mothers, 1116 fathers, 993 infants at three months, 990 infants at eight months, 958 children at 18 months, and 777 children at 24 months were analyzed. Parental circadian preference was measured using the Horne-€ Ostberg Morningness-Eveningness Questionnaire. Concerning children's sleep, we used the Brief Infant Sleep Questionnaire (BISQ) and the Infant Sleep Questionnaire (ISQ) at each time point. Results: Maternal circadian preference was associated with infants' circadian rhythm development at three, eight, 18 and 24 months. Furthermore, increased maternal eveningness was also related to short sleep during daytime at three months, and nighttime at three and eight months, to long sleep-onset latency at three, 18 and 24 months, to late bedtime at three, eight and 18 months, and to sleep difficulties at eight and 24 months. Paternal circadian preference was not associated with any sleep variable at any time point. Conclusion: Maternal circadian preference is related to several sleep difficulties in early childhood, and it may be considered a potential risk factor for the onset of early sleeping problems.
