If you’re a mom in today’s day and age, you’ve no doubt heard about The Wonder
Weeks. This book, written by a husband-and-wife team, outlines the 10 “wonder
weeks”, or regression stages, that all babies go through
in the rst 20 months of life. The book outlines when and
why each “wonder week” happens; it also offers parents
insights into how to help their babies navigate each
wonder week, and turn it into a leap forward for baby.
The book is quite interesting, and we’ve heard from
many parents that this is in their list of top, must-have
baby books (you can see comments from real moms over
on the Wonder Weeks Facebook page). Of course, as people who eat, sleep, and
breathe baby sleep, we’ve always been most interested in how each of these
wonder weeks stages impact a baby’s naps and nighttime sleep.
And we thought it was about time that we shared what we’ve learned about the
wonder weeks and sleep with you!
