18 month sleep regression?

Question

Perfect sleeper started waking up at 2 am, and takes forever to settle. He’s lying awake in his crib after some separation anxiety drama. Anyone going through the same thing? Any advice you’ve been given? Any idea how long this will last?

Answer

The 18 month sleep regression is supposed to be the worst of them all & almost all kids go through it to some degree. It’s sucks but you’re not alone babe! We haven’t hit it yet but my sister in law just came out the other end after 6 weeks. The main advice she gave me was just try to keep your normal routine & what you normally do as much as possible. If you start rocking to sleep & bringing them in with you again it’s really hard to break it. My sister in law now has a nearly 2 year old who won’t sleep unless she’s right by her side so as hard as it is to hear our babas crying, just try to keep it as normal as poss! And lots of wine 😂

Mines going through this as well. She cries when I put her to bed now and wakes up once or twice whining in the night when she has slept through the night forever already. She does settle on her own. I don’t really have any advice I’ve just been doing the same things as before and letting her self soothe again.

Answer

Wow didn’t realize about the 18 month sleep regression. Well this explains it. My little boy who usually doesn’t have too much of a hard time sleeping through the night would now cry around midnight and 5:55 in the morning. Usually he wakes at 7ish. The other 2 nights he woke up around 9pm and stayed awake for an hour.

Answer

Thank you for this post. My lo started waking at 3am every morning. I’m going crazy and she won’t nap.
