I don’t know if I’m just over thinking it my my 17 month old wakes up screaming and this has honestly been happening for months so long that I couldn’t really pin point exactly when it started but at first I thought it was gas and maybe it was but now I’ve realized that when he wakes up in the middle of the night screaming I don’t think he’s actually awake because his eyes are closed! Lately I have SOMETIMES been able to pat him back to sleep but we bed share and he is breastfed still I’m not sure if these are night terrors but it freaks me out to wake up to him screaming bloody murder is there in one who has experienced this? Is it normal is there anything that helped you?

My son has also been been doing this for months sometimes he opens his eyes to crawl closer to me but ive been thinking the same thing. We also bedshare. I was going to bring it up to his pediatrician next appointment

I’ve been going through the game for the past few weeks

My little one is doing the same thing right now. I read it might be caused of stress? Not sure…

My 17 month old has being doing this for a while too

my 14 month old started doing this last few weeks

Been happening to us too. I think either nightmares or imagination going wild in the dark bc she was also pointing to an embroidery. I was reading toddlers’ imagination is quite something so who knows what they think they are seeing!
