If your LO had an 18-month sleep regression, when exactly ..?

[Sandrine1982]

Hey there.

Question:

If your LO had an 18-month sleep regression, when exactly did it start and how long did it last? And what were the main signs?

I just want to be prepared. DD is currently 17 months and has been sleeping very well in the last month or so. Her first year was very difficult for us in terms of sleep, and we had regression after regression. But in the past couple of weeks she has been sleeping through 6 nights out of 7.

I'm just basically trying to establish if every baby goes through this regression and roughly at what age?

Thanks

Anyone?

My DD is 17 months old now. This regression started earlier but I think kick started by lack of the same routine (introduction of new lockdown) and so started at 16.5 months.

She now refuses to go in her cot at night. It’s so so so hard. I can’t let her cry it out because I’m pregnant and it has me in tears. I think it would if I wasn’t pregnant too!

It’s been about 2.5 weeks. We are going to try gradual changes over the next week to see if there are any improvements 😣 I know it won’t last but feels like it will in this moment.

Aww thanks. For us bedtime is ok... but she's getting up earlier and earlier... crying and impossible to settle. I've been surviving on 3-4 sleep a night. Can't imagine being pregnant. Good luck and lots if positive vibes to you 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
