Baby nightmares?

☀️Katelyn☀️ • 👦🏼 Elijah David ~ 👶🏼 Sebastian Joel

Is it possible for newborns to have nightmares? My baby’s 2 1/2 weeks old and this has only happened probably 2 or 3 times, but he’ll be sound asleep and then suddenly start hysterically crying for a few seconds, with his eyes still closed and everything, and then he’ll suddenly stop and continue sleeping. It scared the crap out of me when he first did it lmao

Children on average do not have nightmares until the age of 4-5 due to specific brain development. But this is a generality and there are always exceptions to the rule :)

Could be night terrors. My daughter had this, it's important not to try to wake them up during a night terror because it could leave them disoriented.
