ABSTRACT
An infant’s quiet night of sleep is a source of happiness and empowerment for parents. In prenatal classes, many parents worry that their baby might develop a sleep disorder and that night-time could become an intense scene of crying and responses. Indeed, quite a percentage of infants and children develop sleep disorders, and nocturnal wakings and bed sharing are quite common during early childhood. During infancy, the frequency of nightwakings increases with maturation of locomotion.1
