What ages are sleep regressions?
My 8-month-old, who used to sleep so well, is suddenly waking up every hour! My wife says it's a 'sleep regression.' Are there specific ages when these sleep regressions usually happen?

I once ignored my child's extreme fussiness thinking it was just a normal 4-month sleep regression, but it was actually a painful ear infection. Please get a quick pediatrician checkup if they are crying excessively.

Prepare yourself, because sleep regressions hit at 4 months, 8 months, 12 months, and basically whenever you finally decide to plan a movie night! It's nature's way of keeping us awake.

We discussed this at the children's hospital during my son's vaccination visit. They said the 4-month and 8-month regressions are the most common, but you should ask your doctor to be sure it's not due to teething.

The major sleep regressions happen at 4 months, 8 months, and 18 months. It is purely developmental, so establish a solid bedtime routine early to help them navigate these phases.

Our pediatrician explained that typical sleep regressions occur around 4, 8, 12, and 18 months. These are closely linked to neurological growth spurts, like learning to roll, crawl, or speak.
