Developmental Milestones & Sleep Setbacks (13–24 Months | Day 9)
Welcome to Day 9 of the toddler sleep training course! If your little one is suddenly standing in the crib, babbling non-stop, or having a harder time settling, you’re likely seeing the effects of a developmental leap—and that’s totally normal.
In today’s video, Dana Obleman explains how milestones like walking, standing, or new speech skills can cause temporary sleep disruptions—and what you can do to stay on track.
🧠 What you’ll learn in this video:
– Why milestones often lead to brief sleep regressions
– How to support your toddler’s development without disrupting sleep
– When and how to help your toddler out of an awkward position at night
– Why extra daytime practice with new skills makes a big difference
– What to expect on Night 9—your last night in the room!
💡 Pro tip: Resist the urge to “reset” or change the routine during regressions. Consistency is what helps your toddler push through these changes faster.
