Following the mHealth intervention, caregivers of problem sleeper infants significantly reduced feeding to sleep, overnight feeding, and picking up overnight, and 30.4% of problem sleepers were reclassified as non-problem sleepers. Both groups improved in bedtime routine regularity, perceived ease of bedtime and sleep onset, and caregiver confidence in managing sleep.
| Effect size | 30.4% of PS infants reclassified as non-problem sleepers; feeding to sleep reduced (chi-squared = 28.89, p < .001); overnight feeding reduced (chi-squared = 16.57, p < .001); picking up overnight reduced (chi-squared = 13.04, p < .001) |
| Follow-up | 4-28 days |
| Comparator | pre-intervention baseline (same caregivers before receiving CSP recommendations) |
| Effect summary | improvement; 30.4% of PS infants reclassified as non-problem sleepers; feeding to sleep reduced (chi-squared = 28.89, p < .001); overnight feeding reduced (chi-squared = 16.57, p < .001); picking up overnight reduced (chi-squared = 13.04, p < .001) |
