Journal ArticleDOI
Naps in children: 6 months-7 years.
TL;DR: Results showed that there were no differences in nap patterns based on gender, ordinal position, whether naps spontaneously disappeared or were stopped by the parents, and the number of naps at 6 months of age.
Journal ArticleDOI
Treatment of infantile colic with dicyclominehydrochloride
TL;DR: The data fail to document easier temperaments or longer sleep durations at 4 months in infants whose colic ceased during treatment, and the hypothesis that parental distress caused by infantile colic affects subsequent temperament and sleep patterns is addressed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Night waking in 4- to 8-month-old infants
TL;DR: Parental reports of night waking and sleep patterns were obtained for 141 normal 4- to 8-month-old infants from middle-class families and a group of infants was identified who had a past history of colic and who were perceived to have a current night waking "problem."

Journal ArticleDOI
Sleep duration, temperament, and Conners' ratings of three-year-old children.
TL;DR: Parents' reports of sleep patterns, ratings on the Behavioral Style Questionnaire, and Conners' Abbreviated Parents' Questionnaire were obtained for 60 three-year-old children, and children with low activity ratings appeared to have an easy temperament or low motor activity when awake and asleep.
