What is sleep regression in infants?
Our infant's sleep patterns have become very erratic recently, waking up frequently after sleeping well for a while. The pediatrician mentioned 'sleep regression in infants'. What exactly causes this?

I am actually reading about this for the first time because my 4-month-old is suddenly crying all night. Does this sleep regression happen at specific months, or can it start anytime?

Between managing work meetings and a baby waking up every two hours, this phase is brutal. Realistic advice: take turns with your partner in shifts so at least one of you gets a continuous 5-hour block of sleep.

I absolutely lost my mind during the 4-month mark and thought my baby had some major illness. It turned out to be completely normal brain development. Don't worry, they are just processing new skills and will sleep fine again soon.

Oh, it is basically when your baby's sleep cycle matures and they start waking up fully between sleep phases. Try to establish a simple, calming bedtime routine like a warm bath and light massage, it really helps them settle back.
