Sleep training can be a tough enough process on its own without battling against a regression. If you’re still working through sleep training issues at 18 months, or earlier depending on when the regression hits, you might be a bit more lax during this time. If your child needs more comfort or sleep incentives, that’s okay!
Put a pause on your strict training schedule and start troubleshooting what you can do to help your child fall asleep now. Once the regression passes, you can pick up where you left off with normal bedtime routines.
