Tool | Sleep observations

Sleep Regression Checker

Organize what changed and choose a useful next step. Age selects related reading; your observations select topics to explore. This tool does not decide whether your baby has a regression or identify its cause.

What have you noticed?

Baby’s age (optional)

Select any observations that fitWaking often at nightNaps suddenly much shorterTaking longer to settle at bedtimeStanding or practising new skills in the cribSleep changed despite the usual environmentWanting more contact during the dayWaking earlier in the morningNaps offered but not taken

One observation is enough to explore a topic. You do not need to select a minimum number.

Keep a useful record

Write down what changed and when, rather than assigning a label. You can record known sleep and wake times, then save a snapshot for another caregiver.

Record what actually happened

When a schedule tool is not enough

Do not use this page to explain away illness, feeding difficulties or other health concerns. Discuss those concerns or persistent sleep difficulties with your child’s healthcare professional.
