Extended tummy time is associated with longer nighttime sleep duration in 4-5 months old infants.

In our study, we investigate whether the amount of tummy time is associated with sleep in infants 4-5 months of age.

Movement during nighttime wake episodes reflects the onset of crawling and walking

Infants moved more and expressed greater diversity in movements during WEPs when they reached new locomotor milestones. We also demonstrated that Nanit, a commercially available video baby monitor, is a useful research tool and can provide a detailed glimpse into infants’ nighttime crib environments.

First Steps: Using the Nanit baby monitor to classify nocturnal infant movements

Using movement as a window into psychological development, the current study tests the feasibility of manually coding motor behaviors using Nanit video baby monitoring technology to qualify and quantify an infant’s movements in the crib.

Video from the Crib: Using the Nanit Home Baby Monitoring System to Explore the Relation Between Motor Development and Sleep in Infancy

One objective was to examine sleep directly using video-based sleep analysis for behavioral evidence that would speak to the increase in night wakings associated with motor skill acquisition. Another objective was to better understand the types of movements that define night wakings.
