Night terrors?
My baby is 7m and slept through the night since he was about 2m. He’s now started having these panicky episodes several times a night. He’ll still be asleep but it’s like he’s having a really bad dream and takes a few moments to settle down again. This happens about 4 times a night. Nothing in his life/ routine has changed that I can think would cause this? Has something upset him that I’m not aware of? I’m worried and don’t want him being upset like this every night 😰

My son did this when he was teething but it would last a lot longer than a few moments but worth a check? X
Oh bless, night terrors are so sad to watch. From what I remember when my little sister had them it’s not like nightmares where something is scary, they are caused by the nervous system getting ‘stuck’ when moving from sleep cycle (deep to light etc). I know because my sisters happen around the same time every night my dad had to start lightly waking her 10 or so min before, not enough to fully wake her up but enough that she stirred and could change from deep sleep to light more easily.
