Can I take preventive measures before regressions come and soften them, or are they inevitable?

Sleep regressions are a natural part of developmental leaps, so they're completely unavoidable—no measure can eliminate them entirely. But you can ease their intensity and duration.
Consistency is the most effective thing during regression periods. When your baby is learning a new skill (crawling, walking, talking), their brain can temporarily disrupt sleep. During these times, not changing your routine, staying balanced in your responses (not jumping to pick them up at every waking, but not leaving them alone either) works well. Adequate daytime physical activity and stimulation also support nighttime sleep.
In short: you can't prevent regressions, but with a solid sleep routine and a calm approach, you can ease the transition.
