Sleep Progressions: What they are and how to move through them

I find that there's a narrative in the sleep training industry that makes you feel like sleep regressions (or progressions as I prefer to call them) are these make or break moments if you don't do something “the right way”. I know a really common one for the four month progression is, “If your baby doesn't learn how to fall asleep independently during the four months sleep progression, they're never going to sleep through the night.” Well, that's a huge lie. So in this episode I want to talk about exactly what a sleep progression is and when you should expect them in the first year – specifically we’ll be talking about the 4 month, 6 month, 8 month, 10 month, and 12 month progressions. I’m sharing what's happening developmentally during each progression and how you can support your baby through them to find more sustainable rest in your home.
