When is baby *not* going through regression

[sungw]

4 month, 6 month, 8-10 month, 12 month, honestly lol why don’t we just call a spade a spade and have it be the first year regression

*cue the people about to comment, “My Lo NeVeR wEnT tHrOuGh OnE aT aLl”

@sungw Thank you lol

@sungw I feel like the whole idea of a “regression” is kind of BS to be honest. Babies and children and adults are constantly evolving as we age as well as adapting to outside influences such as environment, stress, and emotions, etc. I think that’s just what it is, plain and simple, not some defined “regression” that happens every time you blink. I don’t know why we insist on labeling every darn thing.

@sungw I’m 28 and currently finishing a regression, heard the next one hits at 30

@sungw Then 2 year regression and every time they teethe all the way until they’re like 4 and then they start getting growing pains

 

[webtest88]

@sungw And every time you think you're done there's another one!

 

[ionerice]

@sungw I feel this so much.

@sungw my baby seems to be in a constant state of regression tbh. we get 1-3 good weeks maybe, and then right back to just sleeping like doodoo. she naps fairly well through the day most times, and can get a good 4-5 hour stretch most nights so i guess it's not /terrible/

@sungw My baby is always in regression for some reason lol. A growth spurt, teething, eczema, a developmental leap, gas…whatever! He hasn’t slept longer than a 4 hour stretch ever and he’s 8 months!

@sungw Man ever other night is a regression! One night he sleeps through it the next hes up every two hours…. Infant sleep should be the 1st wonder of the world

@sungw The answer to your question is never. I'm still trying to work through my 25 year sleep regression, personally. I hate to see how bad it will be at 30. /s

 

[callousedhands]

@sungw Yes! Because those are not regressions (idk who thought of this), but just changes in sleep needs. And like everything else with babies, they happen often and fast the first two years.

 

[goodenp]

@sungw This is 100% accurate lol. My kid did not sleep well until he was like 14 months old. We would get a couple nights here and there where he would sleep better than others, but overall it was a shit show for about a year

@sungw If it’s not a “regression”, it’s teething, or illness, or sleep schedule is off, or growing pains, or who knows what. It’s something everyday and that’s NORMAL.

@sungw Dude once I realized baby sleep is FOREVER changing I stopped thinking my kid was broken.
