“…Moreover, evidence indicates that co-sleeping is associated with promoting successful breastfeeding [ 24 ]. Also, a recent paper states that adequate sleep at nighttime appears to be beneficial for children’s cognitive development [ 25 ]. Within this scenario, our study's findings apparently contradict, at least partially, the acknowledged beneficial effects associated with co-sleeping.…”

This study aimed to investigate the association between co-sleeping practiced during the first year of life and preschoolers' sleep patterns. A cross-sectional study including toddlers was designed to analyze their sleep patterns. The Brief Infant Sleep Questionnaire, validated in Spanish, was used to measure sleep quality. A latent class analysis was performed to identify qualitative subgroups in the sample and explore the effects of co-sleeping. The sleep patterns of 276 children were analyzed. A total of 181 (65%) parents reported having practiced co-sleeping with their children. The latent class analysis identified a two-class solution with two different sleep patterns. One of them showed a worse quality sleep pattern, which had a significant association with having practiced co-sleeping during the first year of life, and with the fact that they were still sleeping in the parents' room, among other characteristics related to co-sleeping and parental concerns. Breastfeeding also showed association with a worse quality sleep pattern. Conclusion: Based on the present findings, co-sleeping during the first year of life appears to be associated with poor sleep patterns in young preschoolers. What is Known:• Co-sleeping shows benefits for infants and parents, mainly facilitating successful breastfeeding.• Literature on the effect of co-sleeping in lately sleep quality in children and their parents is very limited. What is New:• Co-sleeping practiced during the first year of life could be associated with a worse sleep pattern measured with BISQ-E tool.• A balance between the correct practice of co-sleeping and the achievement of a healthy sleep routine in preschool should probably be part of parents' health education.

“…Poor sleep impacts not only mental health and cognitive functions already in the first years of life [ 23 ] but also children’s global health. In adolescents, insufficient sleep duration has been associated with higher blood pressure [ 24 ], insulin resistance [ 25 ], obesity [ 26 ], and increased cardiometabolic risk [ 27 ].…”

Sleeping problems are prevalent among children and adolescents, often leading to frequent consultations with pediatricians. While cognitive-behavioral therapy has shown effectiveness, especially in the short term, there is a lack of globally endorsed guidelines for the use of pharmaceuticals or over-the-counter remedies in managing sleep onset insomnia. An expert panel of pediatric sleep specialists and chronobiologists met in October 2023 to develop practical recommendations for pediatricians on the management of sleep onset insomnia in typically developing children. When sleep onset insomnia is present in otherwise healthy children, the management should follow a stepwise approach. Practical sleep hygiene indications and adaptive bedtime routine, followed by behavioral therapies, must be the first step. When these measures are not effective, low-dose melatonin, administered 30–60 min before bedtime, might be helpful in children over 2 years old. Melatonin use should be monitored by pediatricians to evaluate the efficacy as well as the presence of adverse effects. Conclusion: Low-dose melatonin is a useful strategy for managing sleep onset insomnia in healthy children who have not improved or have responded insufficiently to sleep hygiene and behavioral interventions. What is Known:• Pediatric insomnia is a common disorder and impacts children's emotional, behavioral, and cognitive functioning, as well as parents' sleep and daytime functioning.• There is no consensus in Europe on the management of sleep onset insomnia and the use of melatonin in typically developing children. What is New:• A group of European experts has compiled a set of recommendations for the management of insomnia, developing a step-by-step approach.• Sleep hygiene, behavioral strategies, and finally low-dose melatonin represent valid strategies for managing sleep onset insomnia.

“…Parental and children's sleep are often intertwined(Rea et al, 2016; Ronnlund et al, 2022). Both groups of children showed inadequate baseline sleep with their average sleep duration far less than 9 h per day, the minimum amount recommended for school-age children(Hirshkowitz et al, 2015;Paruthi et al, 2016) These findings are concerning because sleep duration has a positive relation with cognitive performance, with shorter sleep associated with both more internalizing behavioral problems in school-age children(Guerlich et al, 2022;Vriend et al, 2013;Zhou et al, 2023). Experimental research furtherF I G U R E 2 Means with standard error bars for changes in (a) BMIfor-age z score, (b) BMI, and (c) percent body fat from baseline to each assessment time point between the treatment intervention and active placebo control intervention groups.…”

This randomized controlled trial was conducted to assess the effectiveness of a family‐based and mobile‐assisted lifestyle intervention in reducing weight gain among school‐age children with overweight and obesity. A total of 164 school‐age children with overweight or obesity and their parents were randomized to the treatment intervention (n = 82) or an attention‐control group (n = 82). The treatment intervention included three face‐to‐face education sessions, augmented by monthly text messages sent to parents on their mobile devices. The primary outcome was child BMI‐for‐age z‐score. Secondary outcomes included child BMI, percent body fat, and actigraphy‐assessed sleep as well as parental sleep quality. Outcomes were assessed at baseline, 3, 6, and 12 months after the intervention, with treatment effects analyzed using general linear models for repeated measures. Our results showed that children in the treatment intervention group had significantly lower BMI‐for‐age z score, BMI, and percent body fat than did those in the control group, with an adjusted mean difference of 0.31 units (95% CI: −0.59 to −0.03; p = 0.03), 1.34 kg/m² (95% CI, −2.42 to −0.26; p = 0.01), and 3.12% (95% CI, −5.93 to −0.30; p = 0.03), respectively. No treatment effects were observed for child and parental sleep. Our findings suggest that family‐based and mobile‐assisted lifestyle intervention results in significant and sustained benefits to enhanced weight management for school‐age children with overweight and obesity. Nurses planning and delivering childhood overweight and obesity treatment interventions should consider a family‐based approach with the assistance of mobile devices.
