- The tool analyzes the data to determine if the baby is going through a sleep regression phase.
2. Sleep Regression Timeline
- Highlights common sleep regression ages and how long they last.
- Helps parents understand what causes sleep regressions and when to expect them.
3. Personalized Sleep Solutions
- Provides age-appropriate sleep tips to reduce night wakings and improve sleep quality.
- Suggests gentle sleep training techniques, nap adjustments, and bedtime routines.

When Do Babies Go Through Sleep Regressions?
Babies typically experience sleep regressions at:
- 6 Weeks – Growth spurts cause frequent waking and fussiness.
- 4 Months – Major change in sleep cycles, leading to more frequent wake-ups.
- 6 Months – Increased awareness, separation anxiety, and new skills like rolling over.
- 8-10 Months – Crawling, standing, and teething disrupt sleep.
- 12 Months – Walking and language development impact sleep routines.
- 18 Months – Toddler independence and separation anxiety cause sleep struggles.
- 2 Years – Nap transitions, nightmares, and stronger emotions affect sleep patterns.
Sleep regressions usually last 2-6 weeks and improve with consistent sleep routines.
Signs My Baby Is in a Sleep Regression
- Frequent night wakings after previously sleeping well.
- Shorter naps or difficulty falling asleep.
- Increased fussiness and crying at bedtime.
- More hunger at night due to growth spurts.
- Clinginess and separation anxiety.
- Sudden changes in sleep without being sick or teething.
If your baby shows two or more signs, they may be going through a sleep regression.
How to Survive the 4-Month Sleep Regression
The 4-month sleep regression is one of the biggest challenges because babies’ sleep cycles permanently change. Here’s how to manage it:
- Create a bedtime routine – Bath, book, and dim lights to signal sleep.
- Practice putting baby down drowsy but awake – Helps them learn to self-soothe.
- Ensure proper daytime naps – Overtired babies wake up more often.
- Offer comfort but avoid new sleep habits – Avoid rocking or feeding to sleep if you don’t want long-term sleep associations.
- Be patient – It lasts 2-6 weeks, and consistency helps babies adjust faster.
How the Baby Sleep Regression Tracker Helps Parents
- Takes the guesswork out of sleep regressions by identifying when they occur.
- Provides practical solutions to improve sleep during tough phases.
- Reduces stress by helping parents understand why their baby is waking up more.
