When do babies go through sleep regression?

My baby is 4 months old now and his sleep has become a bit erratic. Someone mentioned 'sleep regression'. When do babies usually go through sleep regression phases?

Oh, sleep regression! That's when you wish you could just have a quiet chai and snack for 5 minutes. 😂 Usually, it's around 4 months, then 8-10 months, and again around 18 months or 2 years. It's mostly growth spurts or developmental leaps.

Yeah, sleep regression is tough. It often coincides with developmental milestones. During this phase, it's even more important for parents to maintain their own energy. Even a short walk or some light stretching can help clear your head, especially if you're sleep-deprived.

Bachche toh aise hi karte hain, kabhi sote hain, kabhi nahi. 4 mahine, 8-9 mahine, aur phir 1.5-2 saal pe thoda zyada takleef hoti hai. Himmat rakho, yeh bhi nikal jayega. Bas maa baap ko thoda sabar rakhna padta hai.

My sister's baby went through it multiple times. 4 months was bad, then around 9 months again. It's like they learn something new and suddenly sleep goes for a toss. Just gotta hang in there, parents!

It's a natural phase as babies grow and develop. Often around 4, 8, 12, and 18 months. During this time, gentle routines and a calming environment can be helpful. For parents, a few minutes of deep breathing can help manage the stress too.
