Your baby was sleeping brilliantly — and then overnight, everything fell apart. Welcome to a sleep regression. These periods of disrupted sleep hit at predictable ages and leave parents wondering what on earth happened to their good sleeper.
Sleep regressions aren't really regressions at all — they're progressions. Your baby's brain is developing rapidly, and that development changes how they sleep. The most well-known one hits around 4 months, when sleep architecture permanently matures from newborn-style sleep into adult-style cycles. Others tend to coincide with major developmental leaps: crawling, standing, walking, language explosions.
The challenge is knowing what to do during a regression. Some parents ride it out — and for short-lived ones, that works. But others, particularly the 4-month regression, mark a permanent change that won't resolve on its own. Knowing the difference, and knowing how to respond without creating new habits you'll need to undo later, is where expert guidance makes a real difference.
North Hampshire's garrison towns mean many families here have military connections and the unique challenges that brings. We create sleep plans that work around deployments, base housing, and the reality of military family life.
Signs your baby might need help with sleep regressions
- Sudden increase in night waking after a period of good sleep
- Fighting bedtime when they used to settle easily
- Shorter naps or refusing naps altogether
- More clingy, fussy, or unsettled than usual
- New skills appearing — rolling, crawling, standing, babbling
What's usually behind sleep regressions
- Brain development changing sleep architecture (especially at 4 months)
- Motor milestones — practising new skills at night
- Separation anxiety peaking at certain developmental stages
- Cognitive leaps making the world more stimulating and harder to switch off from
- Schedule needing adjustment as sleep needs change with age

Common questions about sleep regressions
How long do sleep regressions last?
Most regressions last 2–6 weeks. The 4-month regression is unique because it reflects a permanent change in sleep architecture, so the sleep patterns won't simply revert on their own.
Can I prevent a sleep regression?
You can't prevent developmental changes, but you can minimise the disruption by having strong sleep foundations in place. How you respond during a regression also matters.
Should I sleep train during a regression?
It depends on the regression. The 4-month regression is often a good time to work on sleep because the old patterns won't return. For others, waiting a week or two to see if it passes naturally is reasonable.
