The regression seems to have passed but our routine still isn't settled. How do I safely return to our old pattern?

It's very common for the routine to not immediately settle after regression passes—babies can take time to adjust to this new phase while the routine remains loose. The most effective way to return to the old routine is to start with small, consistent steps: apply the pre-sleep routine in the same order every night (for example, bath → book → calm talking in dim light) at the same time each night. Also try to shift daytime naps back to the same time windows; within a few days, the body clock realigns.
If improvement doesn't come within a week, a habit may have changed during the regression (rocking dependence, pacifier reliance, nighttime feeding)—then you may need a small adjustment. If there's a more specific issue here, let me know and we can work through it together.
