My DS 22 months seems to be having night terrors. Most nights he screams out between 3am and 5am. He goes from silent sleep to fall on screaming, sweating, standing bolt upright in his cot. When picked up and brought into our room he can take up to 10 minutes to stop kicking and thrashing, this morning he leapt off the bed, ran (little legs, bless) into his room pointing!!! There was nothing there......I hope!!
He will often settle back to sleep and sometimes on his own in his cot. We are expecting another baby in Feb and were thinking about making the move to a bed soon as he sleeps so much better for a nap, soemtimes 2 hours, in our bed or my mums bed when she has him twice a week.
How do you maanage these terrors, they are exhusting every night.
