See How We Can Help ↓What is the 8-Month Sleep Regression?
The 8-month sleep regression typically occurs between 7-10 months and is driven by major physical and emotional developments. Your baby is becoming mobile, developing separation anxiety, and their brain is processing many new skills, which can significantly impact sleep.
Key Developments:
- Pulling to stand and cruising
- Separation anxiety peaks
- Increased mobility and exploration
- Object permanence understanding
Sleep Challenges:
- Standing in crib instead of sleeping
- Crying when you leave the room
- More frequent night wakings
- Nap resistance and early wake-ups
Strategies for the 8-Month Sleep Regression
