Sleep regressions. They're one of the most challenging hurdles to overcome when you're a sleep-deprived new parent. One minute you have this perfect, little gorgeous baby who sleeps and all is right with the world and then suddenly your baby is waking up throughout the night, skipping naps. And why the heck won't they stay asleep anymore when you place them in their cribs!
In this episode Sleep Expert Alanna McGinn explains the first sleep regression period – the 4-month sleep regression and what sleep steps you can take to help your baby get through it.
