Maternal-reported shorter total sleep duration but not consecutive sleep duration in infancy is associated with future sleep problems in preschoolers
Shorter maternal-reported total sleep duration but not consecutive sleep duration at 6 months was a marker of future parental reports of sleep problems in preschoolers. The results suggest that total sleep duration over 24 hours and sufficient opportunity to sleep should be prioritized over striving for an infant to sleep through the night during early infancy.
