“…Infant behaviour was assessed with two different observational measures. The first assessment was the Play Observation Scheme and Emotion Rating (POSER) at 18 months (Bilgin & Wolke, 2017; Wolke, 1986). POSER is an observational measure to rate maternal and infant behaviours, which includes play with a toy and free play, each lasting 2.5 min.…”

“…Maternal sensitivity was observed at 3 and 18 months of age. At 3 months of age, maternal sensitivity was measured with the Mother‐Infant Structured Play Assessment (MISPA; Bilgin & Wolke, 2017; Wolke, 1999) during 2 min of play with a toy and 2 min of free play. Maternal sensitivity was coded using a 5‐point scale of maternal positive emotion expression, sensitivity and stimulation adapted from three interaction coding schemes: the Play Observation Scheme and Emotion Ratings: POSER (Wolke, 1986); the Emotional Availability Scales: EAS (Biringen, Robinson, & Emde, 1993); and the Infant and Caregiver Engagement Phases: ICEP (Weinberg & Tronick, 1998).…”

“…At 18 months, maternal sensitivity was observed with the POSER (Bilgin & Wolke, 2017; Wolke, 1986), the same mother–child interaction observation we used to rate infant behaviour (see above). The maternal sensitivity factor consisted of maternal positive emotion expression, sensitivity and appropriateness of play each rated on a 9‐point Likert scale (1 = low; 9 = high).…”

Background: Leaving infant to cry it out has been the subject of discussion among researchers and parents. Nevertheless, there is paucity of empirical research investigating the association between leaving infant to cry it out and consequent crying duration and frequency, mother-infant attachment and behavioural development. Methods: The sample with complete longitudinal data comprised 178 infants and their caretakers. Parental use of 'leaving infant to cry out' and cry duration were assessed with maternal report at term, 3, 6 and 18 months, and frequency of crying was assessed at term, 3 and 18 months of age. Attachment was measured at 18 months using the strange situation procedure. Behavioural development of the infant was assessed with two observational measures and a parent-report questionnaire at 18 months. Results: The use of 'leaving infant to crying' was rare at term and increased over the next 18 months. 'Leaving infants to cry it out' at term was associated with a decrease in crying frequency at 3 months. Furthermore, leaving infants to cry it out a few times at term and often at 3 months was associated with shorter fuss/cry duration at 18 months of age. No adverse impacts of leaving infants to cry it out in the first 6 months on infant-mother attachment and behavioural development at 18 months were found. Conclusions: Contemporary practice of some parents in the United Kingdom to occasionally or often 'leaving infant to cry it out' during the first 6 months was not associated with adverse behavioural development and attachment at 18 months. Increased use of 'leaving to cry it out' with age may indicate differential responding by parents related to infant self-regulation.

“…Excessive crying persisting beyond 3 months of age has been reported in 6%-13% of infants (von Kries, Kalies, & Papousek, 2006;Santos, Matijasevich, Capilheira, Anselmi, & Barros, 2015;Schmid et al, 2010;Wake et al, 2006). The prevalence of feeding and eating problems has been reported in 10%-50% of children (Bilgin & Wolke, 2017a;Schmid et al, 2010;Wright, Parkinson, Shipton, & Drewett, 2007). Reports of prevalence rates of sleeping problems vary between 9% and 21% (Sadeh, Gruber, & Raviv, 2002;Schmid et al, 2010;Wake et al, 2006).…”

Regulatory problems in infancy and toddlerhood have previously been associated with an increased risk of developing attention problems in childhood. We hypothesized that early regulatory problems are associated with attention problems via reduced inhibitory control. This prospective study assessed 1,459 children from birth to 8 years. Crying, feeding, and sleeping problems were assessed at 5 and 20 months via parent interviews and neurological examinations. At 20 months, inhibitory control was tested with a behavioral (snack delay) task. Attention regulation was assessed at 6 and 8 years using multiple instruments and informants. Detrimental effects of crying, feeding, and sleeping problems on attention regulation were partly mediated by children's ability to inhibit unwanted behaviors (β = −0.04, p = 0.013). Accounting for cognition diminished this indirect effect (β = −0.01, p = 0.209). Instead, the effects of crying, feeding, and sleeping problems on attention regulation were fully mediated by children's cognitive functioning (β = −0.10, p < 0.001). These results support that inhibitory control abilities partly mediate effects of crying, feeding, and sleeping problems. However, these effects may be accounted for by children's general cognitive abilities. Early regulatory problems may set infants on a course of under control of behavior into school age, and such trajectories are highly associated with general cognitive development.
