Is this normal? My LO is almost 15 months and she cosleeps with us. Sometimes, she will scream in her sleep a few times a night but doesn't wake up. Every once in a great while, she will wake up screaming nonstop in a trance like state where she has her eyes open and everything, but she's not awake or responding to anything. It breaks my heart to think she might be having nightmares but idk.

My first thought would be sleep paralysis, but she’s so young !! I can’t say that I have experience with this but I would talk to her pediatrician and see if maybe they could set her up with a sleep study? That way they could monitor her overnight and get a better idea of what’s causing it

My son does the same thing!

My daughter has done this since birth.. it really started freaking me out when she would stand and scream/cry in her crib while still asleep. Night terrors can be genetic and they run in both my husband's and my own families.. its frustrating because the ped keeps saying its normal and she'll outgrow it. I know this is no help, just here if you need to vent to someone who can relate...
