This is probably the number one question I get asked. First, I want you to understand not every disturbance in sleep means a regression is happening. A lot of the time when it seems like you are in the middle of a regression, it is actually caused by a development leap, a change in family dynamic, or something more obvious like sickness or teething. The best way to tell if your baby really is experiencing a regression is if new sleep habits have presented and stuck around for longer than two weeks. In this case the most important thing to do is remain consistent in your approach. Often I see parents try to implement several new methods or suddenly change their baby’s sleep environment which can create more chaos and further the regression. You also want to make sure you are meeting your baby where they are developmentally. If your child’s schedule is no longer appropriate for their age/development stage it might be time to shift. Just make sure you are getting to the root of the cause before immediately trying to change things.
