My baby keeps standing up in the crib and refuses to lie down—could this behavioral pattern be a sign of regression?

From 5 months onward, babies standing up in their crib is a fairly common motor development stage and often a need to repeat a newly learned skill rather than a behavioral regression. When your baby discovers standing, they want to practice it even as they're falling asleep; that's why they keep standing back up when you try to lay them down. This usually passes within a few days to two weeks. The most effective thing you can do is lay them down, calmly say "time to sleep," and wait 1-2 minutes for them to settle on their own; rushing in with each stand-up can prolong the cycle. If this continues beyond 2 weeks or your baby is fussy, running a fever, or not gaining weight, check with your pediatrician.
