The Truth About Baby Sleep Regressions with Brittany Sheehan Sleep
The Truth About Baby Sleep Regressions with Brittany Sheehan Sleep
Sleep regressions can feel like a total curveball — just when you think your baby’s sleep is on track, suddenly you’re back to middle-of-the-night wakeups and short naps. But what actually causes sleep regressions? Are they as common as everyone says? And more importantly, what can you do about them?
We’re diving deep into the truth:
What really triggers these regressions
How common sleep regressions really are
When they most commonly occur (and what it looks like)
How to navigate and even prevent them
Common mistakes not to make
If you’ve ever wondered why sleep regressions happen at certain ages (or whether they’re even real), this is the conversation for you. Expect honest insights, expert guidance, and plenty of time for Q&A. You don’t have to just wait it out — let’s talk strategy.
