How do you fix sleep regression?

Tips for managing sleep regressions in your baby

Stick to a consistent bedtime routine; think dinner, bath, book, lullabies and a few comforting words. Ensure your baby is getting enough sleep during the day, as overtired babies are more likely to have problems sleeping at night.

What is sleep regression caused by?
