Remember when they slept through the night? Yeah. That was a nice vacation.
At 14 months, sleep regressions happen. Teething, new skills, growing pains, alien abduction—take your pick.
They might fight naps like they’re being paid for it. Stay consistent. Even when it’s hard.
And if they wake up at 5:30 AM? Invest in blackout curtains. And coffee. Lots of coffee.
The Great Holding Pattern
They might cling to you at bedtime. “Don’t leave me alone in this dark room with my stuffed bunny!”
It’s a phase. It passes. But it feels forever while you’re in it.
Pro tip: Get a good white noise machine. It helps them. It really helps you.
