Sleep Regressions
4-month, 6-month, 8-month, 12-month, 18-month, and 2-year regressions explained with survival strategies.
Sleep Transitions
Crib to bed, dropping naps, room sharing changes, and eliminating sleep crutches.

Healthy Sleep Foundations
Consistent Routine
Same bedtime, same steps, every night. Predictability helps signal sleep time.
Cool & Dark Room
65-70°F, blackout curtains, white noise. Environment matters for quality sleep.
No Screens Before Bed
Blue light disrupts melatonin. 1-hour screen-free buffer before sleep.
Age-Appropriate Times
Follow age-based sleep needs. Too much or too little affects nighttime sleep.
When to Talk to Your Pediatrician
Most sleep issues are developmental and temporary. However, consult your doctor if you notice:
- Loud snoring, gasping, or pauses in breathing during sleep
- Extreme difficulty waking or excessive daytime sleepiness
- Sleep problems affecting growth, behavior, or development
- Sleep issues persisting beyond typical regression timelines
