Imagine this: your child used to nap well and sleep through the night. Just when you think you have solved all their sleep problems, they start waking up at night and stop napping. How did this happen!?

People refer to this as a sleep regression, and if you’ve found yourself struggling with the issue, you’re not alone. Research in the Journal of Pediatric Psychology found that at least one in three mothers have issues with their baby's sleep. These sleep problems can seriously affect their daytime mental functioning and overall mental health.

A sleep regression is when a baby or toddler who usually sleeps well suddenly wakes up at night or skips naps. They can now be hard to settle for naps and at bedtime. Sucks, right?

So, what is a sleep regression?

Basically, a sleep regression is any time where your baby seems to regress in their sleep or settling. For example, a baby who used to nap well may suddenly resist naps. A baby who sleeps through the night with 1-2 feeds may start waking every 2 hours. Researchers often link these regressions in sleep and settling to developmental changes.

Even though it may feel overwhelming, sleep regressions show that your baby is developing well. The bad news is that their sleep suffers. The good news is your baby is growing and learning. They are becoming more engaged with their surroundings, and that is worth celebrating!

How is a sleep regression different to a ‘phase’?

People often see sleep regressions as a ‘phase.’ However, they are a normal part of your child's development. In some cases, they can even become permanent and people cannot avoid them.

A phase suggests something that will pass on its own, which is true for most regressions except for the famous four-month sleep regression. This change in your child's sleep is not just a phase. A permanent shift has occurred. Keep reading to learn more.

Many things can make your little one go through a ‘phase’. Daylight saving can cause early morning wakes. Learning new skills like rolling or crawling can also be a reason. Being unwell may lead to this phase too.

In some cases, the changes to your baby’s settling or sleep may simply be because their naps needing a bit of tweaking. For example, if something is bothering their sleep, like sunlight, your baby may have trouble sleeping. If your little one is sick, that can also change their sleeping pattern for a while.

Before you think your baby is having a regression, check if their sleep problems have an easy fix. It could be their naps or sleep environment that needs some changes. Our Little Ones App can help with this!

What are the signs of a sleep regression?

The main sign that your little one is going through a regression is that their sleeping pattern takes a turn for the worse. For example, your baby may have been a great napper before reaching 3-4 months. Suddenly, you find yourself in an anti-nap battle. Or your 8-10 month old might have been happily sleeping through the night and is now having 3 am parties every night!

Some common signs to look out for are:

  • Your baby’s daytime naps may become shorter.

  • They may start waking more overnight.

  • They can become overtired as a result of poor naps and waking more overnight.

  • Your baby might resist naps/bedtime and need more help settling to sleep.

  • Your baby may no longer easily go back to sleep when they wake.

  • General fussiness/irritability with no apparent cause.

  • They’re not hungry or sick.

Baby Sleep Regression Ages

There are five distinct sleep regression ages that most babies and toddlers will experience:

  1. As early as 8 weeks - it’s a minor blip, but it happens.

  2. Around 4 months.

  3. Between 8-10 months.

  4. Between 12 -15 months.

  5. Around 2 years.

The 8-week baby sleep regression

This is the magic mark where many babies begin to catnap and start sleeping worse in the day. Their newborn sleepiness has worn off so your baby suddenly seems a lot more alert now.

At this point, their mother's melatonin has worn off. They need to make their own melatonin to fall asleep easily and sleep well.

Melatonin is a sleep hormone made in the dark. A very dark room helps babies connect sleep cycles. This helps them stay asleep during naps and at night.

It also helps their circadian rhythm. If your baby still takes short naps, even with blackout blinds, their nap times may need some changes. This can help them move away from newborn sleep patterns. Read more about how to cope with a catnapping baby.

The 4-month sleep regression

The first of the significant sleep regressions is the most substantial change in your baby’s sleep cycle EVER! In fact, as we mentioned earlier, it’s a permanent change. Your little one will now wake up fully between each sleep cycle. They used to drift between cycles when they were younger.

If your baby relies on a parent-led sleep method, they will want that help when they wake up. This includes methods like feeding, rocking, or patting.

The key to getting through this regression is to help your baby learn to settle themselves. Sleep is now something your baby is aware of. They will need practice to learn how to settle and re-settle themselves. Unfortunately, this regression WON’T go away until your baby has learnt to self-settle.

Read more about the 4 Month Sleep Regression.

The 8 -10 month sleep regression

At this age, your baby is going through a massive physiological developmental change. Your baby is a busy bee.

They will learn to crawl, pull up to stand, and find their voice. This means they may wake during naps or at night to practice their new skills. Basically, at this age, babies find their own amazingness distracting (and rightly so).

At this age, many babies feel more separation anxiety. This can make your baby clingy and hard to settle for naps and bedtime. When this happens, it’s incredibly easy for new sleep habits to form so your best bet is to try to stay consistent! Don’t worry, unlike the 4-month regression, this one should only last for a couple of weeks on and off.

Read more about the 8-10 Month Sleep Regression.

The 12 - 15 month sleep regression

This sleep regression is less common and is more to do with the nap transition around this age. Around 12 months, your baby may stop taking 2 naps. Many parents think this means it’s time to switch to 1 nap. This could be the case for some babies, but for others, it can be closer to the 15-month mark.

If your baby is alert or sleeps well past 7 am, they might drop to one nap after 12 months. However, if your baby wakes up earlier, this change will happen closer to 15 months. Don’t rush this transition!

As your little one gets used to this change, they might wake up earlier in the morning. They may also wake up after one sleep cycle at bedtime for a few days. However, like the 8-10 month regression, this will usually fix itself once your baby gets through the nap transition.

Read more about the 12-15 Month Sleep Regression.

The 2-year sleep regression

Just when you thought it was over … you thought wrong! At this age, your baby is now a toddler, and independence comes with that. They’re going through some major developmental milestones that can negatively impact their sleep, and there is often a peak in separation anxiety.

This regression can cause toddlers to resist their day sleep - sometimes refusing their nap altogether. Many parents think this means their toddler is ready to stop napping. However, this is rarely true. Most 2-year-olds will become overtired without a nap.

Again, this regression will pass, but you have to remain strong with your sleep schedule, especially now your toddler has found their voice and can argue like there’s no tomorrow! As long as you stay consistent with offering the nap each day, your toddler will more than likely go back to napping well once this regression has passed.

How does a sleep regression affect sleep cycles?

Your baby’s sleep cycles change significantly during the 4-month sleep regression. Prior to 3 or 4 months, babies' night-time sleep cycles are 4-6 hours long, but after this time, babies go through a massive development, where their sleep cycles become more organised and pronounced.

Changes to sleep cycles around the four-month mark:

  • Day time cycles change - This is where babies begin to wake fully between each 45 minute sleep cycle in the day.

  • Night time sleep cycles shorten to be 2 hours long and babies stop drifting from one cycle to another so easily.

Baby Sleep Cycle Chart

Since your little ones' sleep cycles have changed, they may start taking more catnaps. This can make them very overtired by bedtime. Catnaps are the least restorative type of nap for a baby.

This change also marks the point in which learning to self-settle can really benefit your baby’s napping and night-time sleep. You can learn more about self-settling here.

How does a sleep regression affect sleep associations?

New sleep habits often form during times of big changes or when transitioning naps. This can happen around 8 weeks, at 3-4 months, during the 8-10 month regression, or during the 12-15 month nap transition.

Babies can be more difficult to get to sleep during these times because they might be over or under tired, they are standing or sitting in their crib or their sleep needs have changed. A baby in any of these situations won't be able to settle to sleep easily.

During sleep regressions, you may rock or feed your baby to help them sleep. If your baby relies on this method, they will need you to do it every time they wake up between sleep cycles.

How long do sleep regressions last?

Not all sleep regressions last the same amount of time. It depends on your child's age and their developmental milestones.

Now, we hate to break it to you but the infamous four-month sleep regression is a whole different ball game. As mentioned earlier, this is the biggest change in your baby’s sleep that will ever happen and it is a permanent change too. This regression won’t go away until they have learnt to self-settle.

Unlike the four-month sleep regression, other sleep regressions will pass. They should only last a few weeks on and off, as long as no new sleep habits develop during this time.

What causes sleep regressions?

Nothing really CAUSES regressions. They are just phases that all babies experience. However, sleep regressions can be confused with other things. These include growth spurts or the need for nap changes.

These can change your child's sleeping pattern. However, they are not a true "regression." Sleep regressions relate more to your baby's mental growth than their physical growth.

Is it a sleep regression or something else?

If your little one has suddenly started showing signs of a sleep regression, it’s a good idea to rule out other potential causes first.

Growth Spurts

When babies suddenly start to wake more during naps or overnight, it can sometimes be due to a growth spurt - particularly if they are wanting to feed as soon as they wake. Growth spurts happen more frequently than sleep regressions and usually don’t last for more than a week.

If your baby seems to be going through a “growth spurt” around 4 months though, keep in mind that their waking may actually be due to the sleep regression. For some babies, particularly those who are fed to sleep at the start of naps and bedtime, they can start to wake in between sleep cycles expecting to be fed back to sleep each time.

Teething

Teething usually gets the blame for A LOT of issues surrounding your wee one. My baby’s not feeding … oh it must be teething, my baby is grumpy...must be teething, my baby isn’t sleeping ...must be teething. But the truth is teething is actually a short-lived nightmare that happens for a day or two and you will know when your little one is teething as you can actually see the tooth emerge from the gum.

So, if your little one is waking more than usual and they are around 3-4 months and you can’t see any teeth sprouting, then it’s safe to say they have hit the 4 month sleep regression. Read more about teething.

Separation Anxiety

As your baby gets older, you may recognise that they start to cling to you more or cry when they are left with someone other than you, this is called separation anxiety. This is quite common from around 6 months onwards when babies start to develop the concept of object permanence.

Object Permanence is the understanding that objects continue to exist even when they cannot be perceived (seen, heard, touched, smelled or sensed in any way). In the early months of your baby’s life, you may have seen them enjoy peek-a-boo. They think that when you disappear from view, you are gone. Then, when you reappear, it feels like magic. However, older babies no longer see it this way.

This can cause your baby to become clingy and hard to settle at naps or bedtime, or they may need you to stay in the room with them while they fall asleep. This is particularly common during the 8-10 month sleep regression.

How do sleep regressions coincide with changes to napping/sleeping?

Some sleep regressions occur around the same time as nap transitions, which usually happen around 6-8 months and 12-15 months. During this time, you may find that your baby is clingier in the day and harder to settle at bedtime.

  • The 3-2 nap transition happens around 6-8 months old

  • The 2-1 nap transition happens around 12-15 months old

Do sleep regressions ‘ruin’ the sleep training you have done/doing/plan to do?

The answer is not at all. Sure, a regression can make it harder to stick to a plan. However, working on self-settling is the best way to get through the big 4-month sleep regression. We believe that being prepared is very important.

Sticking to a schedule and developing good sleep habits early will help you later. You will notice when a sleep regression happens because you can see changes in your baby’s sleep patterns. And most importantly, you will recognise when your baby’s sleep needs have changed due to illness, in which case you can contact your GP straight away.

Our Little Ones App can help you to regulate your baby’s sleeping patterns. We’re not saying it will be easy. Dealing with a regression is really tough. However, following a routine can help your little one adjust to these big changes. This will make it easier for them to get through the regression.

How to survive your baby's sleep regression

We know it probably feels like the first 12-18 months of your little one’s life is an endless whirlwind of regressions, but just remember they are natural developmental periods in your baby’s life that are helping them to grow, mature and develop. And yes, it’s going to be tough, but there are plenty of things that you can do to help you and your little one along the way.

Firstly, breathe and realise it won’t last forever.

Apart from the four-month sleep regression, the other regressions are not permanent and can go away in a matter of weeks.

Give your baby the chance to self-settle.

Now, this doesn’t mean hard-out sleep training or a crying, abandoned baby. Instead, self-settling simply means your baby is able to fall asleep on their own when they’re ready to (this shift happens during the four-month sleep regression). Try putting your baby down to sleep in their crib when they’re drowsy, but still awake, this will help your wee one to self-settle and will also break those existing sleep associations.

Encourage good sleep habits early on before the regressions hit.

This way you won’t have to try and change any deeply ingrained sleep associations down the track.

Good sleep habits to foster:

  • Make sure the awake times are age-appropriate

  • Sleeping your baby in a totally dark room to allow the release of the sleep hormone melatonin

  • Have a good bedtime routine to follow (check out our article here), which highlights the importance of a bedtime routine)

  • Using white noise to help get your baby to sleep

  • Ditch the dummy/pacifier if you’re having to replace it all night long

  • Allowing your baby to sleep in their crib for their day time naps as they will learn to associate their bed with sleep.

Stick to your routine.

Although sleep regressions make it difficult for you to stick to your schedule, try to keep up with your regular routine as it will make it so much easier to get back to it once the regression is over.

Don’t suffer in silence.

You also have to look after yourself during this time and if that means asking for help from a grandparent, your partner or a friend, then do it. The more help you can get the better. You are welcome to join our community on social media, or in our in our baby sleep app, where you can talk to other parents and our certified sleep consultants for tips to get you through these tricky periods.

Baby sleep is an ever-changing phenomenon. From infancy to toddlerhood, many things can affect your baby's sleep patterns. Some of these changes are temporary, like a cooler night. Others last longer, like developmental leaps during a regression.

Almost everything in your baby's world will have some impact on their sleep, so in a sense, babies regress and progress in their sleep all the time and sleep regressions are simply just part of that process. So, with that in mind, just remember - you’ve got this!

Have been on the program for just over a week, we have ditched the dummy for my 3.5month old, and she's now self settling for naps in under 10minutes, and just had our first 2.5hour lunch nap which she resettled herself.
The age appropriate app is spot on, it says settle now for sleep and it's exactly when my baby is tired.

It takes the guess work out of it all.
With my first baby we had terrible sleep from 4 months to 8 months. We then sleep trained her using Ferber method and it worked, however we went through 4 months of catnaps, and continued night waking with feeding to sleep.

This app has reminded me that you need to give your baby some time to figure it out themselves, if all other important details for good sleep are in order, and that has been so so valuable.
Instead of quick the baby is stiring, now it's lets listen to the cry, start a timer, and wait and see.

It's also given me time back with my 2.5year old daughter, as I'm no longer rocking or patting to sleep our youngest or continued dummy runs.

Thank you so much and honestly guys spend the money, you won't regret it!

WOW! Immediate results

We were a little skeptical as we were in the thick of the 2 year regression and it didn't look like there was any light at the end of the tunnel for us. We were underslept, run down and it was ruining us. We had previously sleep trained our daughter at 5 months old and had paid top dollar for another sleep consultant, who had given us very limited resources for future references.

But these girls have your back!!! Honestly, I love that you have the option to search previous posts and responses of similar situations.

Glad I bit the bullet

My LO was sleeping okay during the day but was cat-napping, however he always slept well at night. When he hit 3.5months things changed and after a night where I was up 7 times for him I decided very quickly that something needed to be done before it got worse/went on for too long. I was overwhelmed with the amount t of information online and had seen the app advertised and decided to get it. It was tough for a few days but we saw a noticeable change within the week. We've been using the app for nearly 4 weeks now and he now sleeps between 1hour 20 and 2 hours at lunch, we no longer feed to sleep and 8/10 times he doesnt need a lot of settling before sleep and he has gone back to waking 2 times in the night to feed. The village is super helpful and I like that you can search concerns or topics as well as searching by age. Thanks so much for helping me get some sleep and a better routine around feeding so now I feel like I have time in my day for a change.

Worth it!!

Even if you download the app and decide not the follow the multiple options they include for sleep training, it is still 100% worth it in my opinion just to have the help with planning wake windows, feedings, and naps! I used this for my son, who is my second born. With my first, I had hired a sleep consultant and although it worked very well, it was incredibly expensive. I knew what I had to do to help my son sleep at night but I needed some help with finding a method that would work best for him, a schedule that worked and troubleshooting help. I didn’t follow any strict method to “a T” but I took many lessons I learned from the app to help me help my boy sleep. We are miles away from where we were a month ago and we are all well rested & much happier.

Do yourself a favor and buy it...like right now.

If you’re a parent, you know the value of sleep (or the lack thereof). That’s where The Little Ones Sleep App comes in—trust me, it’s a total game-changer. This app is non-negotiable for anyone who wants to give themselves—and their marriage—the beautiful gift of a full night’s sleep and, wait for it, a 2-hour break in the middle of the day. Yes, you read that right, 2 hours.

But here’s the best part: It’s so much more than just a sleep training tool. This app is your ultimate guide through the ever-changing phases of babyhood and toddlerhood. It walks you through everything, from introducing solids to navigating all the quirky, unpredictable sleep needs your little one will have. I love the available and practical advice, and the feedback from the sleep consultants is so spot-on it feels like they’re right in the room with you.

In my experience, when I follow the program exactly as laid out, it’s like magic. My baby is thriving, happy, and sleeping soundly—and I feel like a supermom. Not only do I have a well-rested baby, but I’ve also gained precious time for myself, my work, and time best of all time with my husband too.

If you want to regain control over your family’s routine, get a happy, well-rested baby, and finally feel like yourself again, this app is your new best friend. Trust me, it’s worth every penny... Go ahead and just get the 0-3 year program. You won't regret it.

Amazing program - Improvement after just 1 day

I was recommended this program by a work colleague and downloaded the free version when my son was born. I started using another app to track sleep and feeds as it had widgets (a new feature LO’s now has that I love!)but when my son hit the 4 month regression he went from 6 hour stretches at night to waking up every 2 hours. I was completely exhausted and the amount of information online and sleep programs when you google search sleep regression is overwhelming. The LO’s program was my last resort before giving in to the fact that I’d never sleep again and I am so glad I tried this program. I saw a massive improvement on day 1, we went from waking every 2 hours at night to waking twice which dropped to once after a few days and now he’s sleeping through consistently and self settling. I was worried about sleep training because I am strongly against cry it out methods but the little ones program allowed me to take a gentle approach whilst still being extremely effective. The village is amazing, not only are consultants available to you to assist with any questions or issues but the social village allows you to ask general questions to other mothers. It’s made my experience as a FTM a lot less daunting and lonely. I like that the schedule allows for flexibility and auto adjusts when things don’t go to plan as well as the troubleshooting notes and FAQs that help you maintain flexibility. I also found this program superior to others in that it is not just a sleep program, the schedule and lessons provide guidance around feeding times, starting solids, teething, toilet training etc. I cannot recommend this app and program enough!

Amazing program!

After dealing with a newborn who would be awake for up to 4 hours during the day and waking 5-8 times a night, I suddenly came across this program recommended to us by my sister and friends. Why do they not teach new parents about awake windows and sleep in anti-natal classes?! With my 11 week old, it took us about 2 weeks to see results and we are now waking up just twice a night to feed. The game changer for us was blacking out his room, side settling and incorporating the feeding schedule alongside the sleep schedule. This stopped his snacking throughout the day which was what he was doing during the night, hence so many wake ups. He now has full bottles during the day and is going to bed with a nice full tummy. The online sleep consultant help is just so amazing, so responsive and the advice just makes sense! Would recommend this to any parent who will listen!

Amazing progress

We really struggled with settling our baby using sleepy cues. I purchased this app not sure if anything would help... but the information and support we received on the village has been amazing. We used the schedule and information and adapted it to our baby.
We went from bouncing to sleep and wouldn't sleep anywhere apart from contact, no nap routine and was generally fussy with sleeping, baby had colic for the first 3 months so would wake in discomfort and would only settle with bouncing and contact nap .
4 weeks later baby is sleeping in next to me crib can self soothe to sleep without dummy, can independently fall asleep in pram and car. We do sometimes still need the pat to soothe and are still in progress with the lunch time nap but on the whole such a transformation. Special thank you to Brooke for the advice over the last few weeks.

Happy Baby

I have to admit when I first purchased this app and program I was very skeptical. I had been given information from friends of other sleep training information but none of them I felt resonated with me and I was craving routine for me and my son. I was struggling with a crying unhappy baby at each nap time, pushing through and staying awake up to 3 hours and only having contact naps.
I now have a baby that is asleep in his cot within 5 minutes at each nap time including any power naps needed and he has good quality sleep and is happy. I haven’t even started any of the self settling, the power of routine has honestly just relaxed him in itself!! Couldn’t recommend more.

amazing working on the first day!

I was able to train my baby from day one to sleep independently from usually feeding to sleep. Baby is 3 months old so went straight to the 4-6 month old feed to sleep settling guide and she also slept so long for me last night 5 hours, 3 hours and now even until 5:30 and she is still asleep! She has not slept independently from 4am since a newborn! I cannot express my gratitude enough! Thank you for giving me my life and sleep back.

Helped break the cycle of contact naps

I bought the program desperate to get my second child, 4mo, to sleep independently during the day. It has done this and more. I was not confident knowing how to get my baby to sleep without feeding and this program showed me step by step, without judging. I felt supported to stay within my comfort level of my child's crying (with my first child I was too terrified of any crying to try any 'sleep training' but this hasn't felt like that).
By the second day my 4mo baby was sleeping better than my first child ever had. It surpassed my expectations of what my baby was capable of. The days improved immediately and that was what I was so desperate for! The nights improved a few days later, they still aren't perfect but I don't even care! Thank you for changing my life!

This program is a steal!

I was so tired of trying to get my little guy to nap for an hour at a time, and we were in a desperate cycle of catnaps. I impulsively bought the Little Ones program and am so impressed! The app is all encompassing - you can track sleep and feeds. I was worried that because I was starting this program at 6 months, he wasn’t going to adjust well. Within days, I was able to get him on the schedule, improve our naps, and our nighttime sleep. I had so many issues with other programs, because they did not give as much guidance when things went wrong. The troubleshooting section allows us to have flexibility, while still keeping up good sleep habits. Not to mention, this is so cheap compared to other sleep programs! We can’t say enough great things about this program.

Amazing - couldn’t believe how quickly it worked

We started using the app when our baby was 6.5 months and waking a few times a night from habit wakes. We went cold turkey with the dummy and used the ‘rock to soothe’ method. First day was tough and few challenging nights that first week but he was learning to self soothe at all naps and bedtime within 5 minutes by Day 2. By the end of the first week he was sleeping just over 11 hours per night and self soothing quickly himself when he woke during the night. This has genuinely changed our lives already and it’s only Week 3! Thank you so much!

Amazing!

As a first time mum I had no idea how small changes make such a big difference to a babies sleep!

The lessons in the app are so informative and easy to read that I feel like a sleep expert now

The 4month sleep development phase was breaking me! I didn’t want to hear my baby cry as it made me cry.
The little ones gentle approach had my little man sleeping longer within 3 days and no longer needed to be fed to sleep
I feel confident with other people putting him to bed now .
Thank you soooo much!!!!
