Hi,
My 4.5 month old son appears to be suffering from nap/night terrors, I am wondering if there is anything we can do to help him?
It does not happen at every nap or every night..but it is pretty often. He will start screaming in his sleep- no buildup or waking sounds, just start screaming at the top of his lungs. When we go in often times his pacifier is still his mouth, eyes are still closed and he just screams. We don't pick him up or anything after trying that only to find it makes it much worse.
Has anyone else delt with this in a child this young..anyway we can help him?
His doctor said it is common and to just let him cry, he does not even know he is doing this ...easier said than done, especially at night.
He is still fully swaddled, we have tried letting his arms out, not swaddling and he is just not ready yet. He has the terrors in any of the mentioned scenarios.
help!
