A stage-by-stage plan for surviving every sleep regression from 4 months to 2 years — what to do, what to avoid, and what to stop worrying about.
Read the guide →The 4-month regression is permanent — not a phase that passes
At around 4 months, sleep architecture changes permanently. Babies who previously slept in long stretches now surface at every sleep cycle. This doesn’t pass the way other regressions do — babies learn to navigate it by developing the ability to self-settle. Read our regressions guide for exactly what to expect and what to do.
Read the regressions guide →Wake windows matter more than clock times at any age
Putting a baby to bed “early” when they’re undertired makes settling harder. Putting them to bed “late” when they’re overtired makes nights worse. Wake windows — the awake time between sleeps — are the single most controllable variable in infant sleep. They’re the starting point of every plan we suggest.
Understand wake windows →Safe sleep rules apply to every sleep — including naps
Safe sleep guidance isn’t just for overnight. Back to sleep, firm flat surface, room sharing for 6 months — these apply to every sleep including daytime naps. A baby sleeping in a bouncy chair or car seat during a nap is not in a safe sleep position for unsupervised sleep. Our safe sleep guide covers all the rules clearly.
Read the safe sleep guide →Every sleep training method has evidence — pick the one you’ll actually stick to
Controlled crying, gradual retreat, Ferber, PUPD — all have supporting evidence and all have limits. The “right” method is the one you can apply consistently, because inconsistency makes all methods fail. Our sleep training guide explains every major approach without ideology or pressure to choose any particular one.
Compare all methods →Sleep advice is one of the most contested areas of parenting and one of the most commercially exploited. Our sleep section is evidence-based and editorially independent. We don’t sell sleep courses, affiliate on sleep training programmes or recommend products we haven’t reviewed.
Every guide is based on current NHS guidance and peer-reviewed research. Where science is genuinely uncertain, we say so clearly.
