Posting for traffic. My previously good sleeper has suddenly woken tonight at 10pm and gone crazy. Endless screaming , it’s horrendous. When I go in he carries on no matter what I do, cuddle, stroke, talk etc. He can’t possibly be hungry as bad usual large dinner. No temperature. It’s literally been going on 1.5 hours now, never happened before. I have a meeting at 8am and I am so stressed. Nothing is settling him. I can’t cope with this any advice please

Try paracetamol? In case its pain related? Often ears when my kids were like that.

Can you take him for a walk in the pram? Give him a bath? Possibly calpol in case he's in pain? Have you never had a bad night before? Does anything usually settle him? If nothing else works for us we tend to go for a car ride. Only twice we've had to resort to that in the middle of the night but it's worked.
The fact that he's non stop screaming for this long would make me worry he was in pain or unwell. Have you tried offering food just in case?

Ashamed to say I’ve left the room now in tears and he’s just crying endlessly. I am so sad I know I’m not handling this well
