What’s the most important thing for parents to keep in mind when preparing for sleep training?  You have to prepare yourself for the fact that it’s going to be hard, listening to your baby cry is painful, but it can help to think of it as a health issue. The earlier you start “sleep training” the better, Debrovner says. All babies are physically able to sleep through the night by the age of six months, so this is a logical time to begin training. However, most parents will need to begin official sleep training at between three and six months, depending on the individual child.

Here are some specific steps:

1. Start on a Friday

2. Don’t Respond to Cries Immediately: Follow the routine that you’ve established. But when your child begins to cry, wait a little longer than usual to go back into his bedroom.

3. Don’t Pick Up Baby: When you go into the room, pat your baby on the back and reassure him that everything is going to be OK. He may not stop crying, but after you reassure him, you need to gently tell him it’s time for bed and leave the room.

4. Lengthen Your Response Time

Depression Mother

A mother’s depression can worsen her child’s asthma, U.S. researchers have found.

Their six-month study of 262 black mothers and their children found that children whose mothers had more depressive symptoms had more frequent asthma symptoms, while children of mothers with fewer depressive symptoms had less frequent asthma symptoms.

The Johns Hopkins Children’s Center team focused on black mothers and children because black children are disproportionately affected by asthma. The study was released online in advance of publication in an upcoming print issue of the Journal of Pediatric Psychology.

While the degree of a mother’s depression affected her child’s asthma symptoms, the reverse wasn’t true, the researchers found. This suggests that a mother’s depression is an independent risk factor that can predict the severity of a child’s asthma.

Because depression often involves fatigue, memory lapses and problems with concentration, it can impair a mother’s ability to manage her child’s asthma, which may require daily drug treatments and frequent doctor visits, the study authors noted.
