A nightly bedtime routine reduced both the frequency and duration of night wakings in infants, with rapid improvement in the first 3 nights and continued smaller improvement through 2 weeks.
| Effect size | b = -0.12 wakings/night (frequency, Piece I); b = -3.00 min/night (duration, Piece I) |
| CI | 95% CI -0.17, -0.07 (frequency); 95% CI -4.14, -1.86 (duration) |
| Follow-up | 2 weeks |
| Comparator | 1-week baseline of usual bedtime practices (within-subjects) |
| Effect summary | improvement; b = -0.12 wakings/night (frequency, Piece I); b = -3.00 min/night (duration, Piece I); CI: 95% CI -0.17, -0.07 (frequency); 95% CI -4.14, -1.86 (duration) |
