When does sleep regression start?

Question

My baby, who is 4 months old, suddenly started waking up a lot more at night. Is this the dreaded sleep regression everyone talks about? Around what age does this typically begin?

Namaskaram! My mother-in-law used to say babies have their phases. Sleep regression usually starts around 4 months, then again at 8 months, sometimes even later. While family advice is good, if you are really worried, do talk to your pediatrician, they will guide you best.

Sleep regression can hit hard, usually around 4 months. That's when their sleep cycles mature and they become more aware of their surroundings. Then there are others around 8-10 months, 12 months, and 18 months. Just try to be consistent with their routine.

As a working mom, sleep regression is a nightmare! It typically starts around the 4-month mark, and then again at 8-10 months and 18 months. The 4-month one is often the most significant. Prepare for a few weeks of broken sleep and try to maintain a consistent routine when you can.

When does sleep regression start? Usually just when you think you've figured out sleep, BAM! 😂 It's commonly around 4 months, then for an encore at 8-10 months, and again at 18 months. My eye bags have their own zip code now. Good luck!

Hey, don't worry, sleep regression is a super common thing. It usually starts around 4 months, which can be a shock because babies were sleeping well before that. Then sometimes again at 8-10 months, and then 18 months. It's a sign of their development, even if it's exhausting for parents.
