“…Unfortunately, UK mothers lack adequate sleep‐related knowledge (Evison et al ., ) similar to what is reported in other countries such as the United States of America (McDowall, Campbell, & Elder, ), New Zealand (Owens, Jones, & Nash, ), and Iran (Afsharpaiman, Bagheri Hagh, Kolbadi Nejad, Amirsalari, & Torkaman, ). This may lead to parents underestimating their children's sleep problems (Afsharpaiman et al ., ), which ultimately decreases the likelihood of parents engaging in practices to improve their child's sleep (McDowall, Galland, Campbell, & Elder, ). Consequently, this lack of parental knowledge may not only contribute to preschoolers’ sleep problems but may also allow them to become chronic (Touchette et al ., ).…”

This study looks at the views of mainly White British mothers currently residing within the United Kingdom. Thus, it may not represent the views of everyone in the United Kingdom. Nevertheless, it still makes important recommendations for practice. For example, relationships between health professionals and parents need to be improved and information on different sleeping practices widely dispersed. Statement of contribution What is already known on this subject? Poor sleep is common in young children. Young children's sleep quality can be affected by parental behaviours. Parents lack knowledge of sleep in young children. What does this study add? According to this study: It would be beneficial for professionals to work in partnership with parents when formulating advice. Mothers want advice to appreciate individual differences, be free of stigma, and manage expectations. Mothers want advice both prenatally and throughout their child's development.

“…McDowall et al 16 found that parents with increased sleep knowledge were more likely to report earlier bedtimes, wake times, and more consistent sleep routines for their children. 9,17,18 Sleep disorders in children affect their growth and development. Children tend to have poor concentration and impaired cognitive function and memory that adversely impact their school performance.…”

BACKGROUND The prevalence of obesity in primary school children in Jakarta has reached 14% in 2013. Among many disorders, obesity can cause sleep disorders. However, sleep disorders in children are often overlooked by parents, even though they can cause physical, social, and psychological impacts. Therefore, it is necessary to find the association between obesity and sleep disorders in primary school children. METHODS This cross-sectional study was performed between July–September 2015 on 107 children attending Menteng 01 Primary School, Jakarta. Children's weight and height were measured and then their parents filled out the brief infant sleep questionnaire (BISQ). The collected data were analyzed using chi-square. RESULTS In this study, 20.6% of the children were obese, which was higher than the prevalence of obesity in Jakarta. Meanwhile, sleep disorders occurred in 62.6% of children. Data about children’s sleep habits and parents’ opinion about their children’s sleep were obtained. It showed that snoring and parents’ opinion about sleep disorders were factors associated with children’s sleep disorder. Statistical analysis also showed a significant association between obesity and sleep disorders in children (p = 0.037). CONCLUSIONS The incidence of obesity in primary school children is high and is associated with sleep disorders.

“…A few studies have shown that multiparous mothers demonstrate a better parenting characteristics than primiparous mothers [9]. Parents' lack of knowledge of the infant's sleep needs causes them to experience difficulties with identifying possible infant sleep problems [28]. Moreover, the parents' unawareness of the toddler's sleep patterns may cause a lower level of communication with a health provider and a higher sleep problem risk for the toddler [29].…”

Objective: This research aimed to identify factors influencing infant sleep quality including mother-infant bonding, infant stress, parity, and maternal depression and anxiety, and to analyze possible associations between these variables. Method:A cross-sectional design was adopted to analyze data from mothers and their infants (0-36 months of age) using consecutive sampling. Mothers completed two of several questionnaires in the Indonesian language, including the Mother-Infant Bonding Scale, the Brief Infant Sleep Questionnaire, the Symptoms Checklist-90, and an infant stress questionnaire that was specifically designed for this study. The chi-squared test for bivariate analysis and logistic regression were applied to obtain odds ratios for the predictor variables using SPSS version 21 (Results: Findings indicated that the proportion of infants with problematic sleep quality was 33.30%. Three predictors were significantly associated with problematic infant sleep quality: mother-infant bonding; infant stress; and parity. However, logistic regression analysis demonstrated that only mother-infant bonding (odds ratio [OR] 1.66 [95% confidence interval (CI) 1.15-6.12]) and infant stress (OR 1.29 [95% CI 1.07-2.68]) predicted a 38.7% risk for problematic infant sleep quality. Conclusion:Results of the present study indicated that early detection of mother-infant bonding levels and infant stress is very important. It may be valuable to screen sleep habits for better prognosis among infants because good sleep quality is crucial for optimal growth and development. Results of this study will raise awareness of the importance of motherinfant bonding, infant stress, and problematic infant sleep quality.3
