Baby sleep regressions?

⚡ Short answer: Sleep regressions aren't a problem—they're a natural part of your baby's brain and motor development. They usually occur around 4, 8-10, and 18 months and resolve on their own within 2-6 weeks.

Baby sleep regressions? My mother-in-law says one thing, I read something else.

The real reply from the in-app AI advisor

When you're caught between different information from your mother-in-law and what you read, your head really gets confused—I understand. Sleep regressions aren't actually a problem; they're a natural part of your baby's brain and motor development. They typically occur around 4, 8-10, and 18 months—your baby learns a new skill (crawling, standing, talking) and their sleep is temporarily disrupted. It resolves on its own within 2-6 weeks.

I don't know what your mother-in-law is saying, but if she's blaming everything on one cause like "they're teething, that's why they're waking," multiple factors can actually come together during regression periods. What matters is maintaining your routine during this time and letting your baby self-soothe without over-intervening. If it goes beyond 2-3 weeks or affects weight gain, it's good to check with your pediatrician.
