Abstrakt:	Objectives: To investigate the sleep patterns and characteristics of infants and young children and the association between sleep patterns and breastfeeding. Methods: A general information questionnaire, Brief Infant Sleep Questionnaire (BISQ), and a questionnaire on feeding were used to investigate the sleep quality and feeding patterns of 1 148 infants and young children aged 7-35 months. The K-means clustering method was used to identify sleep patterns and characteristics. A multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to investigate the association between sleep patterns and breastfeeding. Results: Three typical sleep patterns were identified for the 1 148 infants and young children aged 7-35 months: early bedtime and long sleep time; short sleep latency and moderate sleep time; late bedtime, prolonged sleep latency, and insufficient sleep time. The third pattern showed sleep disorders. The multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that compared with formula feeding, exclusive breastfeeding within 6 months after birth reduced the risk of sleep disorder patterns by 69% ( OR =0.31, 95% CI : 0.11-0.81). The risk of sleep disorder patterns was reduced by 40% ( OR =0.60, 95% CI : 0.38-0.96) in the infants receiving breastfeeding for 4-6 months compared with those receiving breastfeeding for 1-3 months. Conclusions: There are different sleep patterns in infants and young children, and breastfeeding can reduce the development of sleep disorder patterns.
