Nighttime wakings increased but daytime naps also got shorter—does regression affect both night and day?

When nighttime wakings increase along with shortened daytime naps, it shows that sleep regressions can affect both night and day. Sleep regressions generally affect your baby's whole sleep structure—frequent night wakings, shortened daytime naps, difficulty falling asleep, and fussiness can all occur together. The cause is usually a motor (rolling, crawling, standing) or cognitive leap that temporarily disrupts sleep patterns.
This phase usually lasts 2-6 weeks. Maintaining a consistent bedtime routine (dim light, calm talking, books) and keeping the same consistency for daytime naps helps. If it lasts more than 2 weeks or affects your baby's weight gain or mood, it's good to check with your pediatrician.
