Navigating the Sleep Regression Milestones

By

You finally get into the groove of bedtime, and you’re used to one or two wakeups during the night. Then, it’s suddenly one wakeup after another, and you realize that you’ve reached a milestone in parenthood: sleep regressions. They’re also a milestone for babies. You’ll overcome this hurdle, but some helpful information and baby monitor tips can help you navigate the sleep regressions and get back to more restful nights.

What Is a Sleep Regression?

A sleep regression is a phase babies and toddlers undergo when their sleep habits change. Your baby is growing and learning rapidly, which certainly impacts their sleep. During significant growth and development, there may be more wakeups during the night, shorter naps, and refusal to sleep, and that’s called sleep regression. Sleep regressions can take time, but it’s different from one baby to another. You can encourage a smoother transition by creating a comfortable sleep space that becomes a source of comfort for your baby.

When Do Sleep Regressions Happen?

The exact time a sleep regression occurs depends on how your baby learns and develops, so it’s unique from one baby to another. Still, there are age estimates for different sleep regressions. They are likely to occur every few months between three months old and two years old. You might also experience sleep regressions during or after external changes, like switching from a bassinet to a crib (or crib to bed), illness, teething, moving to a new home, or stopping bottle-feeding or breastfeeding cold turkey.

How Can I Prepare for a Regression?

Sleep regressions can be hard on parents, especially if you have an older baby or toddler and you’re used to long stretches or a whole night of sleep. The best you can do to prepare for sleep regression would be to continue monitoring their sleep space with a smart baby monitor. Smart monitors can track your baby’s personal data with something like a sensor on an ankle band and note the environment with a small hub monitor. These devices help you uncover when your baby gets the best sleep, the temperature and humidity of the room at the time, and whether or not your baby prefers sleeping with white noise or lullabies.

Is There a Way to Support Better Sleep?

As a parent, you can support better sleep for your baby by sticking to a consistent bedtime routine that helps your baby feel calm and comfortable. You can also keep their sleep environment consistent, setting the household temperature to one that keeps your baby’s room comfortable and taking note of humidity levels. Watching a baby cam with high-quality video helps you see how your baby sleeps. Yet, a sleep monitor that tracks data, including information about the sleep setting and your baby’s oxygen levels, heart rate, and skin temperature, could be beneficial during a sleep regression. Find something that works for you and your family to ensure everyone feels comfortable and has the support they need to overcome this sleep hurdle confidently.

Parents and babies need support and comfort during sleep regressions because they’re not easy on anyone. However, this time will pass; it may only last a few days if you’re lucky. If you’re concerned about your baby’s sleep, talk to your pediatrician or parent-infant experts about what you can do for your little one.

Cozy Baby Sleep Environment Essentials

Babies need a lot of sleep. Their bodies, brains, and worlds are growing. Initially, it might feel like sleep schedules are a series of naps at all hours of the day and night. That’s normal. The most important thing you can do is create a secure space for your little one to get the rest they need. Today, you can find out what contributes to a comfortable sleep space for your baby that promotes overall well-being. Start with the Environment Before you go all-out on decorating your baby’s room, start with the basics. Your baby needs a flat surface to sleep on, with sides like crib slats or those on a bassinet. As your baby grows, lower the height of the mattress so the sides of the crib rise. During this time, keep the crib clear of soft items like stuffed animals until the baby is at least 12 months old. You should keep the room or home temperature at a setting that matches their sleepwear's thermal overall grade (T.O.G) value. A baby temperature monitor in your bab...
