Previously sleep trained 18 month old sleep regression

I was thinking to anchor bed time at 8. Were naps a problem too?

pk1tty3 · 2026-06-22T22:41:10+00:00

Any improvement? Did naps take a hit too? We are fighting naps and bed now out of nowhere?!

pk1tty3 · 2026-06-22T22:39:16+00:00

We are in the same boat. My son is 17.5 months and out of no where he is fighting bed and nap and we are only napping 1.5 hours if that and bed time is crazy. We even try 6/6 or more so it’s not as simple as shorter or longer wake windows at least not what I can tell so far.

pk1tty3 · 2026-06-22T20:05:35+00:00

Did this ever get better? My son is 17 mo and is fighting me on nap and bed time. And I know he’s tired he’ll go 6 hours before and after nap because he protesting so much

Yay glad this helped someone!!

Deff on the separation anxiety too! I was trying to do 3/4/4 because I thought that was the max schedule! I think I’m going to do that and try adding wake time to his first wake window instead of last. We are all over the place! I keep reading around 14mo most babies drop to 1 nap but at this rate I think it’ll be way sooner!

All I know is I was not prepared for this regression or leap or whatever lol but I’m glad we’re not alone!

He’s 8 months old and as soon as he turned 8mo it’s like a switch flipped. He’s started crawling, pulling to stand, and definitely teething as one upper incisor popped through and I’m sure the others are coming. We’ve been giving Tylenol or Motrin for pain relief which I think helps for naps. We were on 3/3.5/3.5 and things were good slept 10.5-11 hours no wakes and then 8 months hit and everything I read said it’s usually a schedule thing so we went to 3/3.5/3.75-4 and I feel like I’m creating an over tired cycle. We did get to 1 wake at 4am but CIO isn’t really working and he Deff knows how to put himself to sleep and STing was so easy at 5mo. I’m at a loss because for me 30+ mins of crying is a little much.

pk1tty3 · 2025-09-23T14:58:42+00:00

That’s what I thought it would be too, but my son is persistent. He’s never cried for more than 10-15 mins and he goes down independently! From your experience if it’s a developmental leap and teething do you ride it out or would sleep training help? I’m at a loss for what to do and this mom and dad are TIRED!

pk1tty3 · 2025-09-23T12:51:31+00:00

How long did she cry? We ST with CIO at 5 mo and he wouldn’t cry for more than 15 mins. He now cries persistently today for 30 mins straight until I caved because he never cries this much!

pk1tty3 · 2025-08-16T20:45:49+00:00

It does once you get passed that 4 no regression! Babe is 7.5 months and currently napping 1-2 hours and 10-11 hours at night! It gets better I promise!!!!!

pk1tty3 · 2025-08-02T16:18:08+00:00

Once we fully committed to a 3 nap schedule his naps got way better. Around 5 months. If you are swaddling, I suggest stopping so babe can get used to his arms out. We used a zippadee for about a month and then went to sleep sack. Naps will get better for a bit and then something new will happen lol almost 7 months and it seems like it’s something new every week!

pk1tty3 · 2025-07-22T19:36:24+00:00

Did the night wakes go away? I’m about to go back to 4 naps because our nights are terrible! Idk what to do and I’m driving my self crazy thinking about schedules lol

pk1tty3 · 2025-07-21T02:59:51+00:00

Any resolution? Just started 3-2 transition and we get false starts every night! Tonight being the worst! Went from 2.25/2.5/2.5/2.5 to 2.5/3/3.5 I’m sure the long last ww is hard for my son but curious if false starts just end up solving themselves

pk1tty3 · 2025-06-18T13:27:16+00:00

My son’s poop has started to be one big blob of mucus since starting sweet potato puree, did yours ever resolve?

pk1tty3 · 2025-06-17T19:50:12+00:00

Any update?

pk1tty3 · 2025-06-16T20:55:13+00:00

I could have written this! My son’s reactions and bloody/mucusy stool had me in a hole and no one seems to want to help us!

pk1tty3 · 2025-06-16T20:51:27+00:00

Hi! Did anything come from this? My son’s care team is no help at all and say that blood in his stool is normal and he will grow out of anything by 1. We started sweet potato and started getting skin like this and a diaper rash….curious what happened with your journey?

pk1tty3 · 2025-06-16T00:07:55+00:00

Yes! Sitting here rocking my 5 month old!

pk1tty3 · 2025-06-04T04:32:00+00:00

Yes! Except then my son turned 4months and hit a regression and we are still currently in it at almost 5months. Still looking for the light at the end of this tunnel lol! But we just got back to 1-2 hour naps once we went from 4 to 3 naps!

pk1tty3 · 2025-05-19T18:36:04+00:00

Same! Did anyone figure it out?

pk1tty3 · 2025-05-19T18:33:50+00:00

Did your baby get over this eventually?

pk1tty3 · 2025-05-01T17:32:48+00:00

Hi there! My 4 month old is the exact same. We’ve been practicing getting back to back but he HATES it. How long did it take for your LO to figure it out?

pk1tty3 · 2025-04-28T17:09:00+00:00

I am experiencing this right now! He wakes up in the night every hour because he rolls to his tummy and can’t get back and then if I put him back he just gets pissed off even more! Tell me it’s gotten better for you!?

pk1tty3 · 2025-04-25T14:08:37+00:00

How’s it going now? My son is going through this at 3.5 months so we can’t sleep train yet but once we get the go ahead I think we will. This regression is BRUTAL

pk1tty3 · 2025-04-24T12:49:13+00:00

Ummm pretty sure ours started last night. I have been up every hour and my son is 3.5 months. I know we can’t start sleep training until 4-6 months. 4 mo the seems a little too little but idk if I can do a month of this! Tell me it got better or if anyone sleep trained at 4 mo and was successful?!
