Milestones and regressions

Milestones and regressions are common times when your child will have sleeping difficulties. The first two years is filled with milestones, regressions, illness, growing, and changing! It sure feels like a roller coaster of changes! The good news is that if you are struggling, know that the stage will be over soon and it’s not going to be like that forever. Although, I can’t promise the next ‘something’ will be better, just different!

Some common regression times where you might struggle with sleep:

6 weeks
3 to 4 months
6 months
8 to 10 months
12 months
15 – 18 months
24 months

It will seem like there's always something messing up sleep, but when a child has good sleeping habits, they will go back to sleeping well after these times!

Within my book Happy Sleeping Baby, I help you understand when your sleep troubles are a regression period or something else to work on. The book is a great resource that provides you with a guide to set up the sleeping puzzle. You can read more about the book or order it here.
