Night terrors?

[purplewoofer]

Do babies have these? My boy is 9 months and for the past few nights has woken really distressed and crying but don't think he is fully awAke. I don't leave him to cry I will comfort him and sometimes he will go back to sleep with cuddles or feeding him but he seems so upset. Should I wake him fully or just try to get him back to sleep. Any way of preventing this? He is not a good sleeper anyway and has always woken at night but is not usually so upset?
Thanks

Yes, it could well be night terrors and I think you are handling them just fine. There is a sleep regression at 8 months so you could be suffering with that a bit too.
