There is a long list of why exhausted parents reach out to me for sleep help. It could be because of a long and frustrating bedtime, multiple night wakings, or poor naps. When I hop on an initial sleep evaluation call with a family, they typically ask if their baby’s poor sleep might just be due to a “regression.” And, once that passes, “will they just grow out of it”?
The ‘R’ word is thrown around left and right. And none more so than the dreaded four-month sleep regression.
