The focus of the advice for parents is therefore on good bedtime routines and how to prevent and respond to common sleep problems.</p><p> </p><p>However, this Government recognises the importance of healthy sleep patterns to aid children’s development. Health visitors, as part of the Healthy Child Programme, have contact with families during pregnancy and in the early days and weeks after birth. They provide advice on a range of issues to support the transition to parenthood. This will include a discussion of protective factors for babies’ safety such as safe sleeping, temperature control and infant feeding; their work has a strong focus on healthy sleep practices, bath, book, bed routines and activities.
