Sleep regressions can last for a couple of weeks up to 6 weeks.

Experiments work best if you can see what worked – and what didn’t. That’s why, when you’re trying to see what works (or what doesn’t), you need to start with a plan.
Each child will be different. It may take some time and experimenting to figure out what bedtime routine works for you.
