Brief Summary

Behavioral insomnia of childhood (BIC) is a common problem in early infancy. The whole family is affected by the problem, but research usually relies only on maternal perception and report. This mixed-method study aimed to explore maternal and paternal perspectives about their child's sleep and sleep problems in early childhood. Secondly, infants' sleep will be measured objectively with actigraphy. Parental mental health, marital relationship and sleep will be evaluated in order to explore the effects on the perception of their infant's sleep.
