In the logistic regression models, no infant, maternal or family factors from the original
Infant Sleep Study (conducted when the children were aged 6 — 12 months) predicted the presence of sleep problems at the age of 3 to 4 years.
Twelve percent (14 of 114) of children had a persistent sleep problem, ie, had a sleep problem both at the end of
the Infant Sleep Study and at the time of this survey.

the Infant Sleep Study, maternal employment status, or the number of children in the family.

A total of 114 of the 156 mothers from the original
Infant Sleep Study completed the survey, a response rate of 73 %.
Nineteen percent of children (21/113 as 1 mother completed this survey but not the questionnaire at the conclusion of
the Infant Sleep Study) had recurrent sleep problems, ie, had no sleep problem at the conclusion of
the Infant Sleep Study but were reported to have a sleep problem at the time of this survey.
In 1998, we conducted a randomized, controlled trial of a simple, behavioral infant sleep intervention (
the Infant Sleep Study) that led to significant reductions in infant sleep problems and maternal report of depression symptoms 4 months later.10 In 2001, when the children were aged 3 to 4 years, we followed the participants of the earlier trial, all of whom had sleep problems at entry to
the Infant Sleep Study.
Of the mothers who had reported a problem with their child's sleep, 58 % (31 of 53) of mothers from the original intervention group reported using sleep strategies taught during
the Infant Sleep Study for ongoing management of their child's sleep behavior.
