Getting your baby back to sleep: Handling post-illness sleep regressions
If your baby has recently been sick, you might find yourself dealing with more than just their recovery—you’re also facing disrupted sleep patterns that feel like a full-blown regression. It’s common for babies and toddlers to struggle with sleep after illness, as their routines and comfort levels have been temporarily upended. Whether it’s waking more often at night, refusing naps, or needing extra comfort to settle, these regressions can leave parents feeling frustrated and exhausted.
The good news is that you don’t have to stay stuck here forever. You can help your baby return to healthy sleep habits- you just need to know how! In this guide, we’ll discuss why sleep regressions happen after illness and share practical tips to help your little one get back on track.
Supporting your baby’s sleep during major life changes: Moving, divorce, or new sibling
Major life changes, such as moving, divorce, or the arrival of a new sibling, can bring about significant shifts in a baby’s daily routine—and often, their sleep. Babies thrive on consistency and predictability, so when big changes happen, it’s natural for their sleep to be temporarily disrupted. While these transitions can be challenging, there are strategies to help your baby adapt and maintain healthy sleep habits during and after these times.
This blog will walk you through practical ways to support your baby’s sleep despite some of life’s most significant changes. Whether you’re packing up boxes, navigating a new family dynamic, or preparing for your baby to become a big sibling, these tips will help keep sleep disruptions to a minimum and help you keep your sanity!
