During regression, my baby can't seem to stay awake as long as before. Should I readjust the wake windows?

Yes, adjusting wake windows is something often done during regressions and usually works. During regression, your baby's nervous system is going through intense developmental leaps—this can tire them out faster and they may not tolerate their usual wake window length. The general recommendation during regression is to try shortening the wake window by 15-20 minutes; if your baby starts showing sleep cues earlier (yawning, eye rubbing, blank stare), act on those signals rather than waiting for the full window. Usually this leads to a calmer sleep transition. After regression passes, the window naturally extends back to normal—don't worry.
