About Sömnfakta

Sömnfakta exists to bring evidence-based knowledge about infant and toddler sleep together in one place and make it accessible to families looking for answers. The goal is to provide a clear overview of what the science shows, so parents can make informed decisions based on their own family's situation.

The site is run on a non-profit basis and has no ties to any sleep consultant, coach or commercial entity. It was created because there was no comprehensive, evidence-based overview of infant sleep available, free from advertising.

All information on the site is based on published research in peer-reviewed journals. We prioritise systematic reviews and meta-analyses but also include individual studies when they add important knowledge. We aim to present different perspectives, not just those that support a particular method or viewpoint.

Alongside the research, we include guidelines from authorities and organisations such as the Swedish National Board of Health and Welfare, the AAP, the Lullaby Trust and Red Nose. These complement the scientific literature and show how research is applied in different countries.

Every claim is referenced so you can follow it to the original source. The content is updated on an ongoing basis as new research is published.
