Yes! The 4 month and 18 month regressions were the only discernable ones for us.

Right between 17-18 months he started waking once a night 3-5 nights a week. Usually around 2/3am but as early as midnight and late as 4am.
Fortunately he only did it once a night (maybe a scant handful of times it was twice) and he always went back down quietly with a quick 2 min rock. Sometimes he did stay up but he was quiet. Mostly he went back to sleep.
It lasted for I want to say 2 months It wasn't nearly as bad as newborn days or the 4 month regression. But it was still hard because he'd been STTN 12 hours for over a year. So to go back was hard!

My advice is to stay as consistent as possible because it IS just a phase and you don't want to create new sleep habits. I always just walked in, didn't speak to him, didn't make eye contact. Just picked him up. Maybe shushed. Rocked. Put him back. I didn't want him to get too much out of the wakeups, if that makes sense. I wanted to make them super boring so he got over them. And he did! Your LO will too

@macintosh: I agree with @SweetiePie: try to stay consistant....... DD started waking MOTN and I was 4 months pg and exhausted so we would bring her in out bed, well that led to every night and co-sleeping which was OK for our family but I know many want to try not to!

We had some truly startling sleep issues around 19-19.5 months that could have just been related to illness, some routine changes due to holiday travel, teething, etc., but I'm inclined to think some kind of a regression was happening. DD has never, ever had issues with going to sleep at bedtime ever since we first sleep trained at 4.5 months old - she's 20 months now - she loves bedtime and always gets in her crib happily and relaxes with her animals until she falls asleep. A few weeks ago she started reacting like the crib was made of lava. Just screaming and crying like she couldn't bear to be put in there. Same thing every time she woke up through the night. The only thing I can figure is that she was having nightmares or for some other reason had gotten scared of being in bed alone.

We got through it eventually by carefully explaining to her before bed that she is safe when she's in her crib, it's okay to be scared, we're always there for her, etc. and throughout the bedtime routine saying "three more books and it's time to get in your crib" etc. so she was prepped for it. That helped a LOT and she's back to normal now. Thank goodness.

Yep it happened, only in the form of SUPER early wakings. Like 4-4:30. For a week. Or more ?? I can't even remember. She normally goes down between 6:30 and 7 so we had to stick to the earlier times so she wouldn't get overtired. It was around that time I was switching to one nap (or maybe that had happened at around 17 months). The regression was real for us.
Even now she is still waking early. 6 am is a good day.
