Hi everyone!
I am a first-time mom and my baby is currently experiencing sleep regressions, which has been really exhausting for both of us. I have tried everything from creating a bedtime routine to ensuring that my baby's sleep environment is comfortable. However, nothing seems to be working and my baby keeps waking up more frequently at night.
I would really appreciate it if you could share some strategies that have worked for you in managing sleep regressions or disruptions in your baby's sleep patterns. Any tips or advice would be helpful! Thank you.

Hello there! I have a toddler who used to have sleep regressions quite often but managed them well after some trial and error. One strategy that worked best for me is creating a soothing nighttime routine. This involved dimming the lights and playing soft music while giving her a warm bath before bed. I would also limit her exposure to stimulating devices like the TV or cellphone at least an hour before bedtime.
Additionally, I would offer her comfort and reassurance but would gradually decrease this with time to encourage her to fall and stay asleep on her own. I would also avoid feeding her or changing her diaper unless really necessary so that she didn't associate waking up with activity and cause more disruptions.
Lastly, I found that being patient and not expecting a perfect sleep schedule always was key in managing sleep regressions. Remember, every child is different, so what might work for someone else's child may not work for yours. Hope this helps!
