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
It is a normal stage of baby's developmental process. It is a normal phase of baby development and can cause sleep problems. These periods can last from one to six weeks, and they are difficult to diagnose.
Growth spurts
Baby growth spurts last for up to one week and may affect babies as early as day 1. These periods can lead to sleep problems and wake ups at night. These periods can also cause teething. These symptoms can be harmless but they could indicate a serious condition.
Nap transitions
A baby may have difficulty adjusting to changing nap times. Your child may skip naps and take longer to fall asleep. This phase is normal and lasts for a few weeks. These tips will help your baby adjust to a new environment.
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. An injury or generalized sickness could also cause swelling. Children are more susceptible than adults to other infections and have more likelihood of developing swollen glands.
Fever
You may be experiencing sleep regression if your child wakes up more often during the night than usual. These episodes of disturbed sleep often occur with a fever. They are not permanent, but can sometimes be a sign or symptom of an underlying condition. A doctor will be able to conduct an examination to confirm this.
Earache
Common causes of earache when sleeping are the body's position in sleep. Our head almost always lies vertically during the day. This causes our Eustachian tubes to open and drain fluid. However, when we lie down, the tubes close making it difficult for air to flow through. This causes pain that can range from mild to severe.
