Sleep regression is a common phase in which a baby's or child's sleeping patterns are affected. This phase can occur because of normal developmental changes such as growth spurts, teething, and Nap transitions. Fortunately, there are several simple ways to ease the transition. During sleep regression, the key is to make sure your child is calm and familiar.
Normal growth
Sleep regression is a normal phase of baby's development. It coincides with growth spurts in babies and can cause problems in sleep. These periods can last anywhere from one to six months and are not easy to diagnose.
Growth spurts
Babies undergo growth spurts and can last from one day to a week. These growth spurts can cause problems like awakening at night or missing naps. These periods can also cause teething. These symptoms may be mild and not indicative of any illness.
Nap Transitions
Babies can have trouble adjusting to changing nap times. It is normal for your baby to miss naps or take longer time to fall asleep. This normal developmental phase will last for several days. These tips can help you and your baby adapt to this phase.
Swollen glands
You should see your doctor if you feel swollen glands during sleep. This will help determine if you have an infection. Antibiotics can be used to treat an infection and return your glands to normal size. Another reason for swollen glands could be injury or generalized disease. Children are more vulnerable to infections, and more likely to have swollen glands.
Fever
You may be experiencing sleep regression if your child wakes up more often during the night than usual. These episodes of sleep disturbances are often accompanied or exacerbated by a fever. Although they do not last forever, they may be a sign that there is an underlying medical issue. To determine if this is true, a doctor can conduct an examination.
Earache
Common causes of earache when sleeping are the body's position in sleep. During the day, our head is almost always in a vertical position. This causes fluid to leak out of the Eustachian tubes. These tubes can close when we lay down and make it difficult for air flow. This can cause mild to severe pain.
