Night terrors??

My husband used to have night terrors pretty often when he was younger, his brother (while in med school) him that it could be due to lack of nutrition, the few times he had gotten them since then he just got up and had a quick bowl of oatmeal or whatever quick healthy midnight snack he could scrounge up n went right back to bed... this might help: https://www.thefoodteacher.co.uk/nightmares-night-terrors/

My son is 1 and he just started having them a week ago 😭 he’ll be lying on his tummy with his butt in the air screaming with his eyes closed. I picked him up not knowing the first time. But now I just rub his back and offer his pacifier and he goes right back to sleep. Happened almost every night so far 😕

My son is five months old and he does this every time he goes to sleep. I’ve read some articles about it, and from what I have read it’s normal. It’s where they’re learning new things everyday and learning their own emotions. It scared us at first too, but even our doctor said it is common for babies.

My daughter has done it since like 2 months I had brought it up to her doctor and they said there’s nothing to do so I’m in the same boat. She’s 10 months now.

My 2 year old daughter does that too first I was terrified but apparently some babies just do that still don't know why exactly

My two year old will just wake up in the middle of the night crying and screaming. A toy car or something to drink usually soothes him. Hate when it happens.

I have nite terrors! Especially when it’s period time. It leaves me anxious for days😢

My 2 year old has had them most of her life about 3/4 times a week. She usually sits up screaming, crying, thrashes herself around. Screaming get off me. Now that's the scary bit because there's nothing on her. Speaking to the health visitor they tell you not to wake them I completely agree I woke her once and she screamed for another 2 hours. Sleep deprived mumma 😴

My daughter does not have them but my younger brother and I both have them we don’t much anymore we grew out of it but during times of stress it happens, so I’m sure he will grow out of it as well but I would definitely talk to your sons doctor about it!

My daughter is 2 in a couple of weeks and this started for us on Friday, I thought it may be a sleep change as there is one around this age but it has continued to happen every night since (multiple times a night) I wasn’t sure what was going on so I have been holding her and trying to calm her down thinking maybe she was unwell. I took her to the doctor today and she is physically well so they have said night terrors, I have been told not to hold her or try wake her up and to let it play it’s course. Im going to see how tonight plays out but I’m not looking forward to it as it’s the most horrendous thing I have seen. I’m exhausted and emotional and would love other mums to talk to about this ❤️ xxx
