Behavioral infant sleep interventions: helping parents and clinicians make scientifically-informed decisions

We appreciate Pattinson and colleagues’1 interest in our recent study examining real-world implementation of Behavioral Sleep Interventions (BSIs)2 and welcome the opportunity to discuss this controversial topic. Pattinson et al.1 highlight some limitations of our study, most of which we agree with and have addressed in our discussion. For instance, we agree that the cross-sectional nature of the data precludes conclusions about the direct impact of BSIs, that generalizability may be limited, and that the extent of engagement with the Nanit app (as well as other forms of self- or professional help) may have moderated the links found between BSI implementation and infant and parent factors.
