Why Baby Sleep Suddenly Gets Worse

Why Baby Sleep Suddenly Gets Worse Baby sleep can feel like it is going well, and then suddenly everything changes. More night waking, shorter naps, harder bedtimes, and unsettled evenings can appear almost overnight. In this video, Lyndsey explains why baby sleep suddenly gets worse and why these changes are usually not random. Baby sleep is responsive to development, changing sleep needs, stimulation, regulation, and the wider family environment. You’ll learn why sudden baby sleep changes often happen during periods of development, why sleep needs can shift quickly in the first year, and why trying to 'fix' sleep without understanding the cause can sometimes make things feel more confusing. This video is especially helpful if you are wondering: Why has baby sleep suddenly got worse? Is this a baby sleep regression? Why is my baby waking more at night? Why are naps suddenly shorter? Why is bedtime suddenly harder? -Do babies need less sleep as they grow? Rather than seeing these phases as setbacks, this video helps you understand baby sleep as a signal that something has changed.
