We're in a regression period but I don't know when it's over—what signs should I watch for?

The clearest sign that regression is ending is when your baby calms down several days in a row and falls asleep faster than before. Specifically watch for:
- Nighttime wakings drop noticeably and when your baby wakes, they fall back asleep more easily.
- Daytime naps settle back into a pattern; instead of short 20-minute catnaps, you see at least one longer (45-60 minute) sleep.
- The fussiness, constant holding, or increased nursing requests from regression time return to normal.
- When your baby wakes, they coo or play quietly instead of crying.
Regression usually lasts 1-4 weeks. So if you look back and realize 5-7 days have passed more calmly, that's when you know you've made it through. The consistent routine you kept during all this will be what helped.
