Milestones & Sleep Disruptions: What to Expect 4–6 Months | Day 9
Welcome to Day 9! If your baby is suddenly waking more or having trouble settling, it could be due to a developmental milestone—and that’s totally normal.
In today’s video, Dana Obleman explains:
– Why rolling, sitting, or crawling can temporarily disrupt sleep
– How to respond if your baby is practicing new skills in the crib
– What to do if your little one gets stuck in a new position (like tummy-down)
– Why it’s important to keep things low-stimulation during middle-of-the-night check-ins
– How to stay consistent with your plan while supporting baby through these big changes
🧠 Baby’s brain is busy learning—but that doesn’t mean your routine should stop. These disruptions typically pass within 1–2 weeks, and staying the course will help smooth the transition.
🌙 Tonight, you’ll continue with the “by the door” strategy. Baby is gaining more and more confidence in their sleep skills each night!
