This study tests if half swaddling (wrapping your baby's lower body) helps improve your baby's sleep, your own sleep quality, and your mood. It is for healthy mothers with healthy full-term babies.
This study looks at how sleep might be linked to a baby's development, like how they move and learn. Researchers will follow healthy babies born at term to see if sleep patterns affect their growth over time.
This study tests whether a sleep improvement therapy can help pregnant women (with one or two babies) by improving their sleep and pregnancy outcomes. It's for women who are early in their pregnancy and having sleep problems but are otherwise healthy.
This study looks at how infants sleep in two different patterns (biphasic sleep) and how that relates to their development. If your child is 9 months old and healthy, researchers will track their sleep and development over the next 6 months.
This study tests whether playing special lullabies or a soft 'pish pish' sound helps healthy newborns fall asleep faster and sleep longer. It compares these sounds to usual bedtime routines over the first few months.
This study tests whether holding your baby skin-to-skin (kangaroo care) while singing a lullaby helps calm both you and your baby. It looks at how these activities affect your heart rate, breathing, and stress levels.
