Baby sleep secrets: early parent advice may boost infant slumber
NCT ID NCT07515534
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is testing whether giving expecting parents sleep information and advice can help their babies sleep longer and have fewer sleep problems. About 391 families will be followed for 24 months, with some receiving regular sleep tips and others none. The goal is to see if simple education can improve infant sleep.
