For this week's episode, I dived deep into the topic of sleep regressions, addressing common parental concerns such as its impact and management strategies.  Sleep regressions as natural developmental milestones that can disrupt a child’s sleeping patterns, arguing against the notion that such regressions are a negative phenomenon. Instead, I promote understanding and positive management of these periods.

Also, I emphasize that sleep regressions are a sign of healthy growth and advise parents on how to support you child through these times without creating dependency or stress. The discussion covers the impact of a child’s sleep history, temperament, and the parenting approach on experiencing sleep regressions. Various age-related regressions are explored, including the notable ones at four months, highlighting the permanent changes in sleep patterns, and offering practical advice on adapting to these changes. This episode stresses the importance of staying informed, maintaining consistency, and leveraging various tools and techniques to support both the child and parent through sleep challenges.
