055: Sleep Regressions

"Why is my perfect sleeper all of a sudden waking up and not going back to sleep?" Sound familiar? Sleep Regressions are unavoidable for our babies. Teething, illness, travel, even developmental milestones, unfortunately can disrupt sleep. It's easy to go to the "Get Through the Night" mode and suddenly what you normally practice goes out the window. These phases pass though and sometimes the new (not so fun) habits stick around. In this episode Sleep Expert Alanna McGinn explains how sleep regressions like teething, illness, travel, and developmental milestones can affect sleep and what parents should do when it happens.
