Raise your hand if your baby’s been in a “regression” for 18 months... 🙋🏼‍♀️😂

🚫 Unpopular opinion : it’s not a regression every time sleep is off the rails.

👉🏼The only true sleep regression is at 4 months - a permanent change in your baby’s sleep as their brain matures. 🧠✨

Why does it feel like sleep is going backwards then??

👏🏼 These tiny humans are constantly growing, developing and hitting new milestones.

Learning a new skill → sleep gets weird.

Wave, clap, crawl, stand, breathing the same air as you… it all counts. 🤣

New skill = messy sleep(temporarily). 🤪
✨ More night wakes
✨ Nap resistance
✨ Early mornings
✨ Suddenly acting like sleep is a brand-new concept 😅

⭐️ 8 weeks (maternal melatonin decreases, babe doesn’t have their own sleepy hormone yet)

⭐️4 months (the ONLY permanent change in sleep)

⭐️8-10 months (practicing new skills - crawling, sitting up, standing etc., 3-2 naps, separation anxiety)

⭐️12 - 15 months (2-1 naps)

⭐️18 months (becoming independent, separation anxiety)

⭐️2 years (big developmental changes, maybe potty training & independence !!! )

These phases can last 2–4 weeks (although every baby is different!). These developmental stages do not mean your babe CANT sleep - but sometimes it can be disrupted briefly.

🫶🏻The best way through:

▫️Adjust awake time as sleep needs change.
▫️Practice new skills during the day.
▫️Offer extra feeds during growth spurts.
▫️Stick with a consistent bedtime and nap routine.
▫️Lean into the cuddles - they need you.

✨ And remember: a healthy sleep foundation can make these developmental bumps much easier to navigate.

**Pay attention to 𝙘𝙝𝙖𝙣𝙜𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙨𝙡𝙚𝙚𝙥 𝙣𝙚𝙚𝙙𝙨. 𝙈𝙤𝙧𝙚 𝙖𝙬𝙖𝙠𝙚 𝙩𝙞𝙢𝙚 & 𝙢𝙤𝙧𝙚 𝙨𝙡𝙚𝙚𝙥 𝙥𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙨𝙪𝙧𝙚.** We have to adapt with them as they grow!! Aka MORE awake time is key.

If you’ve been blaming a “sleep regression” every few months... chances are it’s actually something else. 😉

(And nope... it’s probably still not teething. 😂)

🚨 Is your baby on 2 naps and suddenly everything is falling apart? 🚨

We’ve had SO many parents reaching out lately about:
😵 Split nights
😴 Nap refusals
🙃 Fighting the second nap
🌅 Early morning wakes

If your little one is between 10-18 months, they may be starting the 2 ➡️ 1 nap transition.

The biggest signs to watch for:
✨ Consistently skipping the first or second nap
✨ Taking longer to fall asleep for naps 
✨ Split nights/increased night wakings or early mornings
✨ Bedtime getting pushed later because naps are all over the place or not having enough hours in the day to fit in two naps anymore

👉🏼The key word here is CONSISTENTLY.

A few bad nap days doesn’t mean it’s time to drop a nap. Look for these signs happening over several days to a week or more before making the jump.

And here’s the part nobody talks about enough👇
⏰ This transition takes TIME.
Not 2-3 days.
Not a weekend.
For many, it can take several weeks (sometimes longer!) to fully settle into one nap.

During the transition it’s completely normal to:
✔️ Offer 2 naps some days
✔️ Offer 1 nap other days
✔️ Use earlier bedtimes if needed ( 5-6 hours for bedtime post nap initially)

The goal is 12pm for the nap - you may need to gradually adjust or just jump to the new time.

Stay consistent, be patient, and trust the process. Once those signs are showing consistently, it’s time to start working toward that one beautiful midday nap. 🙌

‼️Can we stop pretending sleep training only means letting babies cry? ‼️

Hear me out. 👀

Watching wake windows? Sleep training.
Creating a bedtime routine? Sleep training.
Helping your baby learn a new way to fall asleep? Sleep training.
Keeping the overnight feed? Sleep training.

Sleep training simply means shaping sleep.

The real question isn’t WHETHER you’re sleep training - it’s HOW you’re doing it.

As sleep consultants, nurses, and moms ourselves, we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions.

👉🏼Every baby is different.

👉🏼Every family is different.

You can support your baby, respond to their needs, and improve sleep at the same time. ☺️

‼️The internet has convinced parents that sleep training and responsive parenting can’t coexist. That’s simply not true.

We want you to feel confident with your babes sleep. Not stressed and frustrated .. (and worried about that 5 min car nap).

OTG naps happen, days might look different sometimes - and THATS OKAY.

Let’s stop treating sleep training like a dirty word and start talking about what actually matters: finding an approach that works for YOUR baby and YOUR family. 🫶🏻

The INFAMOUS 🚗💤 CaR nAP 😱😩

You know the one…

You’re in the car screaming BABY SHARK 🎶
👉🏼windows up ⬆️ windows down ⬇️
👉🏼shaking a toy like your life depends on it 🪇
👉🏼with one shoulder half dislocated trying to keep your baby awake 🤦🏻‍♀️

Meanwhile your brain is spiraling:
“THE DAY IS RUINED.”
“BEDTIME WILL BE A NIGHTMARE.”
“WHY DID THEY FALL ASLEEP 4 MINUTES FROM HOME?!”

But hear me out…
✨ IT. IS. OKAY. ✨

A car nap is NOT the end of the world.
Your child’s sleep is not ruined forever because they passed out during a Winners run 😅

Here’s what to do instead of panic:
🚗 Nap under 30 mins?
Give them a little more awake time before trying again at home (about 45-60 mins). Even a tiny snooze takes the edge off their sleep pressure!

🚗 Nap over 30 mins?
Congrats. That was the nap 😂
Call it. Move on with your day.

🚗 Want to attempt the crib transfer?
Be my guest 😂
I think I successfully did it maybe twice in my entire motherhood career.

🚗 Toddler fell asleep right before bedtime?
Push bedtime a little later. They need enough awake time to build sleep pressure again!

One weird nap day will NOT destroy your child’s sleep habits.
Life happens. Errands happen. Cozy car rides happen. 🚙💨

Sometimes naps are on-the-go 👉🏼even when we tried SO hard to avoid it 😅

And honestly?
If I’m the passenger princess 👸🏼 for more than 10 minutes, I’m asleep too 🤣

So stop driving laps around the neighborhood like you’re training for the Indy 500 🏁

Your baby had a car nap.
Not a life crisis 😎

Tell me - what’s the craziest thing YOU’VE done to keep your little one awake? 🤪👇

Maternal mental health looks different for everyone .. 👇🏼👇🏼

‼️ONE IN FIVE experience some type of perinatal mood and anxiety disorder.

‼️SEVENTY PERCENT will downplay their symptoms or maternal health difficulties.

‼️Symptoms can appear any time during pregnancy and the first 12 months after childbirth.

🫶🏻Honestly, nothing can prepare you for life with a new baby. It is a whirlwind of emotions, sleepless nights, constant worry and overwhelming. It is okay to ask for help. It is also okay not to know if you need extra help or support. Sometimes it might feel “silly”. Please remember, it is a sign of strength to seek help, and your feelings are valid. Advocate for yourself, get the help you deserve.

My third really threw me for a loop with her sleep for the first 4 months. I struggled. Evenings and overnights were difficult - I was overwhelmed. I thankfully have a very supportive husband & loved ones- but I definitely didn’t ask for help as much as I should have ( and even now - it’s something I am working on).

👉🏼Do you have a new mom in your life? A mom to be? A mom who has had a loss? Sometimes they will not ask for help, downplay their symptoms or even realize they are struggling.

Conversation starters:
⭐️Let’s go for a walk! ( or grab a coffee)
⭐️Do you feel like you have enough support right now? How are you coping with ____?
⭐️ Drop off a meal / send her a gift card for a food service. (we lived off skip the dishes for at least two weeks postpartum)

🤍Be open, non judgemental and vulnerable with her. Validate her feelings.

🤍Mama, We see you. We know this is hard. Please seek help or talk to someone if you are not feeling yourself. Reach out if you are struggling. Be open and honest. You are strong, you are loved and you matter.

Help can come in many forms. Asking your partner to do the laundry for you. Having a friend hold your fussy baby so you can have a break. Therapy. Medication. You deserve to be looked after too 🤍

🙃 A daily culprit of parent stress? Wake windows.

👉🏼 Wake window starts when you take baby out of the crib
👉🏼 Ends when you put them back down
If they’re chilling in the crib before you grab them?
That’s still rest. No stopwatch needed.

👉🏼 Falling asleep can take 5–20 mins (normal)
If bedtime and naps = a whole situation…
👀 they probably need MORE awake time

👉🏼 Wake windows change constantly
So yes - what worked last month might not work now. We adapt awake times as they grow.

👉🏼 Let’s clear this up:
Most parents are scared of overtiredness
. but putting baby down too early =

✨ they fall asleep fast
✨ then wake 20–30 mins later
✨ and then you end up with not enough overall awake time .. cue the overnight sleep issues.

They might be fussy and tired enough to fall asleep - but not STAY asleep.

That’s undertired.

😴 Babies wake between sleep cycles (we all do)
The goal isn’t zero wake-ups - 
it’s them getting back to sleep on their own

Before you blame everything else, check:
1️⃣ Wake windows
2️⃣ Sleep props (they’ll want the SAME setup all night)
3️⃣ “Drowsy but awake” → skip it. Awake is better.

👉🏼 Cranky when stretching wake windows? Normal.
👉🏼 Nap transitions? Overtiredness usually hits hard at that 1-0 switch. But otherwise - my bet’s still on undertired 😉

You can have smoother sleep. Nothing is going to be “fixed” in a night. Believe in your babe ( and yourself 🫶🏻)

Save this so you don’t second guess yourself at bedtime - ( and add on more awake time) 😉

Ah yes… the parenting advice that refuses to retire.

We asked parents what they’d been told about night wakes and WOW - this one came up a lot:

👉 “Start solids and the night wakes will stop.”

We get why it sounds magical. 🦄

We also need to say this clearly:
That’s not how baby sleep works.

Let’s break it down 👇
🔥 Babies still wake at night - a lot (just like all of us) -
4–6 times is biologically normal. Solids don’t change how sleep cycles work.

🔥 Less feeding ≠ less waking
You might see fewer overnight feeds…
…but your baby can still wake just as often.

🔥 If they’re assisted to sleep…
Rocked, fed, bounced, held - whatever the method is…
They’ll likely need that SAME help at 1am… 3am… 5am.

🔥 Solids don’t fix sleep struggles
Bedtime battles? Split nights? Early mornings?
Still there.

🔥 “Filling them up” isn’t a sleep hack
A bigger belly doesn’t override biology.
Sleep is a skill, not a fullness equation.

🔥 Sometimes it can feel worse before better
New foods = digestive changes
Gas, constipation, discomfort → more wake-ups

If you’re exhausted and someone told you to “just start solids”…
Now you know.

Solids are for nutrition and development…
not a sleep strategy.

If you want a sleep strategy? We got you. ✨🙌🏼

Somehow, “just wait it out” became the go-to sleep advice…
And honestly? It’s not helping parents. 😬

If your toddler is ending up in your bed night after night, it can start to feel normal.

But it’s not something you have to settle into.

Because most sleep struggles don’t quietly disappear on their own… 👀
they become patterns.

And those patterns? They tend to stick.

We see it all the time .. well-meaning advice that sounds comforting, but keeps parents stuck:

“It’s just a phase”
“They’ll grow out of it”
“Enjoy it while it lasts”

It sounds reassuring… but it’s not a strategy ✨

Because here’s the truth: 

The longer it goes on, the more luxury-level attached your child becomes to your bed.

👉🏼And the older they get? The harder it is to shift - (trust me on this one - I’ve lived it).

So if bedtime feels like a production and overnight wakeups are running the show… it’s not random. 🧐

It’s a pattern.

And patterns can change.

Now is the time to help your child feel confident, secure, and very comfortable sleeping in their own bed all night. 🫶🏻

When your child is truly well-rested, it shows in everything -
their mood, their health, their ability to handle their day.

And when you’re well-rested? ‼️

Evenings feel calmer.
Nights feel uninterrupted.
Bedtime stops feeling like a battle.

Also - let’s be clear. Nothing you’re doing is “wrong.” There are no bad habits here. Just something sustainable that may not feel sustainable anymore.

But - wanting your space back?

Wanting better sleep for everyone?

That’s valid. That’s allowed. That’s the goal. ✨

🔥Let’s set the scene🔥

It’s 10pm.

You finally get your baby down after what felt like the Olympic Games. You crawl into bed… and just as you start drifting off - you hear her.

You grab the monitor, zoom in… and there they are - little eyes staring back at you in the dark. 👀Her arms are moving, making little noises. Maybe a cry.

You rush in immediately - feed, lay her down as carefully as humanly possible after rocking her to sleep.

You close your eyes again… and two hours later, she’s awake. So you rush in again. And again. All night long. 😴

Sound familiar?🥲

Because this was me with my first baby.

Here’s what I do differently now - knowing what I know 👇🏼

• Pause and listen first.
- Not every sound is a true wake. Babies often vocalize during REM sleep or while settling.

• Give a few minutes (if you’re comfortable).
- We all wake 4-6 times a night - this is normal, realistic sleep.

• Be intentional if you go in:
-Is it time for a feed? (Usually 4–5 hours after bedtime, age-dependent).
- Make sure feeds aren’t purely comfort - keep baby awake enough to eat.

• Early morning wakings (4–6am)? Melatonin is dropping. Treat it like a night wake and review schedule and daytime sleep.

• Trust your instincts. If cries sound different or something feels off, always check in.

Rushing in at every wake, feeding 5 times a night, or constantly replacing the paci can work short-term - but often leads to more night wakings over time. 😥

✨ The real shift:

Laying baby down awake, optimizing sleep pressure, and ensuring enough awake time during the day.

That’s the ✨golden ticket✨ to longer stretches of sleep. 🫶🏻
