Behavioral Insomnia of Childhood: Impact of Parent Education

Intervention group were offered a sleep education session on healthy practices for parent-baby sleep which included information on sleep needs, sleep hygiene, training in strategies to remove obstacles that get in the way of healthy sleep. Information were provided to guide the parent in forming an action plan based on cued care which included aligning the circadian clock with real time, removing the obstacles that get in the way of healthy sleep, physical activity, mindfulness, and relaxation techniques for mothers derived from the POSSUMS approach. However, we could not use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, because none of the investigators had sufficient training on ACT at the time the study was conducted.
