Hi my 18 month old boy has never been a good sleeper at night but the last few months has been really bad
The only way I can get him to settle though night is if he’s in the same bed has me
Iv tryed just leaving him to cry that dint work
Iv tryed singing to him reading to him feeding and changing him just seems like nothing is working
Iv been trying everything I can since it started and still not improved

Many toddlers go through sleep regressions at different points during their growth and development. If your 18-month-old suddenly has trouble falling asleep, starts resisting naps or sleep, or has frequent nighttime awakenings, he or she may be experiencing a sleep regression.

In reply to Megan.

Hi Megan,
Thank you for checking out The Baby Sleep Site! I’m sorry to hear you’re having trouble with the regression – this is the toughest one, I think! Generally, we do not recommend weaning during a regression since everything’s already hard enough, but if your son is self-weaning during this time, you can certainly take his lead if you want to. There’s no harm in trying, it’s just up to your family whether the possible upset is worth it to you at this time 🙂 I hope that helps, and good luck with everything!

My son is currently going through the 18-month regression, and it’s so not fun! Our normal bedtime routine has been consistent and it includes me nursing him to sleep. Right now he seems to be indifferent to nursing since nothing will really soothe him to sleep (he fights it, wants to play, etc) Is this a good time to try and wean him? Or should I wait until the sleep regression is over?

In reply to Amanda. Only once a night? Count yourself lucky. I don;t think my 18 month has EVER slept fully through the night. it seems like a constant regression since day one. I am thankful if she only wakes up 2-3 times a night. I don't even know what to do anymore.

In reply to Amanda. @Amanda - Thank you for reading and for sharing! Yes, there's a light at the end of the tunnel! This regression is SERIOUSLY HARD but not developing any "new" habits will go a long way to him getting back on track once it passes. It's tough and stressful, we know, but hang in there!

Hi there, we are currently on week 4 of the 18th month sleep regression…I think? It’s been the worst one by far! My son is/was a good sleeper, going to bed around 7:30pm and waking around 6:30/7:00am. He caught on quickly when we did sleep training and has been great at naps too. But the dreaded 18 month sleep regression hit and he’s been waking up once at night but luckily will go back to sleep on his own after I cuddle him for a few minutes. To top if off we are also on day three of no naps! Is there a light at the end of the tunnel? Help!
