Maternal depression linked to toddler sleep problems, study finds
NCT ID NCT07426536
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study explored the link between maternal depression and toddler sleep in 126 Taiwanese mothers with children aged 1 to 3. Researchers measured depression levels and sleep patterns, and also looked at how sleep parenting practices—like bedtime routines and where the child sleeps—might influence that relationship. The goal was to better understand these connections, not to test a treatment.
