Suddenly, your baby who was sleeping soundly through the night is waking up every few hours? Or maybe naps have become a battle, and bedtime is a nightmare. Welcome to the world of sleep regressions!
Sleep regressions are periods when babies or toddlers who were previously good sleepers suddenly experience disrupted sleep patterns. This can manifest as difficulty falling asleep, frequent night wakings, and shortened naps.
If your baby is between 8 and 10 months old and suddenly struggling with sleep, you’re not alone. The 10-month sleep regression is a common experience for many families. It’s important to remember that this is a normal part of development and doesn’t necessarily indicate a problem.
In this article, we’ll dive into the causes of the 10-month sleep regression, how to recognize it, and practical strategies to help your baby—and you!—get back to sleeping soundly.
