Nightmares &/or night terrors?

Question

Anyone else’s little ones struggling with this? My daughter woke up genuinely in fear last night. She was difficult to console, and afraid to be put back down for bed. For those of you with experience- any tips? Suggestions? I don’t want to start bad sleep habits either like bringing her into our bed.

Answer

I think this happened the other night for us. I didn’t know what was wrong so I changed his diaper, gave him milk, sucked his boogers out, saline mist, and he still cling to me. I brought him into his room and read him 3 books then turned out the light and laid him down. I basically did his bedtime routine all over again. He cried for 3 minutes then laid down and went back to sleep. I’m hoping it doesn’t continue to happen.

Answer

My son has had night then terrors for as long as I can remember. He will either settle himself or i will go in and give him his dummy and turn the mobile on. In the worst cases he needs picked up and in bed with us but that’s only been once or twice as I don’t want to start that.

Answer

My son does this once in awhile, he’ll scream bloody murder and there is no consoling him. He acts like I’m not even there. What I do is take him into my room and let him watch some YouTube videos once he’s actually awake, probably not the best thing to do but it works. I told his dr and she said it sounds like night terrors and to just leave him and don’t go into his room because he’s sleeping. It hasn’t happened since I asked her but I don’t think I’d be able to leave him. I hope this helps, good luck!

Answer

I usually pick him up, give him a drink of water and sway for a while and then we talk to all of his teddies and after about 10 mins I lay him back down and sometimes it works. If not, I start again. Recently I’ve been letting him lay in bed with us for 15 mins but that’s only because he’s teething, has a cold and an eye infection (!!!) so I feel so bad for him. Agree with you though, we don’t want to start any bad sleeping habits so after 15 mins he’s back in his bed x

Answer

Once in a while my son wakes up screaming crying, I go in and rub his back until he settles back down. Then I place my hand on his back and just hold it there with a little pressure and slowly let go and leave his room.
