Sleep training worked and they were sleeping well, but lately they're waking at night again—what's the reason?

The real reply from the in-app AI advisor

When a baby who had settled nighttime sleep starts waking again, it often signals a sleep regression. The 4-, 8-10-, and 18-month regressions are common and typically reflect a leap in your baby's motor skills (crawling, standing) or cognitive development (understanding object permanence). Also, teething, a mild illness, or routine changes (travel, babysitter change) can trigger it. It usually resolves within a few days to two weeks on its own. Instead of immediately picking up during wakings, responding with a calm voice helps your baby build their own self-soothing skills. If this lasts beyond 2 weeks, affects weight gain, or is accompanied by fussiness and fever, check with your pediatrician.
