Abstract
A substantial body of evidence about how to support parents with their child's sleep difficulties has been published and this can inform the practice of health visitors and others who work with the families concerned. However, does more recently published research in this field support or question the findings of mainstream studies? This article will examine how some recent studies do support and develop earlier evidence, while others open new fields of research, or challenge official guidance in new ways.
