Have you checked to see if he’s allergic to any food dye or something that he may be eating that could cause him to? I know it sounds crazy but my cousin had to change her nieces diet because it was causing her to act up. We went through that with our oldest and we had to start laying him down sooner and I even had to cut milk out at night because it was messing with him. Do you read to him before you lay him down also? We put music on at night to help soothe both our boys. Just keep trying different things and eventually you’ll find what works best for him. It’s definitely stressful but you’ll figure it out, don’t worry. ❤️

I did not think an allergy! I did think maybe deficient in a nutrient but his pediatrician said no!! I will definitely try those things. Thank you so much!

Pray

Monitor what he watches from now on… even some of these “kids” movies have stronger themes or complex themes and it may be difficult for a little one to fully process what he’s seeing..
If you believe in spiritual things, I’d definitely pray over him every night, God protect my son from any evil or harm, May he be filled with peace while awake and while asleep, so on and so forth
💚 hope they stop soon !

Oh! Also, anything he may experience during the day he may be processing in his sleep. If he’s having a negative time in daycare or if someone’s mistreating him, these things can show up in his dreams as his brain processes what went on in his day.
