Sleep regression with crawling?

kjsmith9 · July 2013

Anyone else experience this? DD is on the brink of crawling (will move both hands/knees a few times and then plop on her belly), and is suddenly up twice each night again. She's been STTN (7:30pm-6:15am) for over a month.

A few days ago I thought she may have had an upset tummy from introducing greek yogurt, but she hasn't had it in 3 or 4 days, and was up twice last night. Plus, it just took over 20 minutes of whining/crying in the crib for her to fall asleep just now - not at all like her.

I know babies like to change what they're doing *right* when you think you have them figured out. Just curious if this might be related to a jump in gross motor skills - and if you've experienced this, how long before your LO's sleep went back to normal?

Yes! Then again when she figured out how to stand. She's still off. It's been about two weeks or so since standing.

Edit because my thumb hit post before I was done.

I don't have anything to say for about how long it lasts but I've read and heard that it is very normal for sleep regression during a wonder week and when the LO's learn a new skill.
Good luck!
