Night terrors HELP

[Whitefluffycloud]

My 19 month year old has been loudly crying for 20 mins. I went in and he is fast asleep, didn't stir. Still crying though and sometimes crying mummy. Is this a night terror? What do I do? Normally a great sleeper. Please help

Definitely sounds like a night terror. My grandson used to do this regularly and couldn’t remember anything about it in the morning. Stay close by in case he suddenly wakes up and needs reassurance. It does sound quite young for night terrors though ☹️

Our three year old has night terrors. He doesn't recognise us even if he seems awake and he's so upset. It's horrible. There's basically nothing you can do :( My son doesn't remember them the next morning though. To him it's like nothing happened 🤷🏻‍♀️

Sorry it's happening to your little one too :(

My little boy had these from when he was about one, seems to have outgrown them in the last few months (He is six). It's horrible. You just have to sit it out. He was an excellent sleeper outside of the terrors.

My grandson had these, usually at the same time ish every night. What worked was shaking him nearly awake, just enough for him to open his eyes, perhaps change position or turn over, about an half an hour to an hour before he would usually have them. Do that for about a week, I can't remember where I read it but it resets their brain or something. It really did work. Also check he's not getting too hot. Try the shaking awake, it sounds strange but it works.

Iv got him in with me and he is sleeping fine now first night he is in my bed so I don't want to make it a habit but he has been sound for over an hr now. Thank you @Curlygirl06 will try that. He did no right away it was me when I picked him up.

My daughter has these and has done since she was about 15 months. We blow gently in her face and sometimes that’s enough to pull her awake enough to pull her out of the terror. If that doesn’t work, I just pull her to me and cuddle her really close and I sing - I realise that makes me sound absolutely mad - but she loves music so I sing in the hope that she can bear my voice and recognise that I’m there through the terror if that makes sense? I had night terrors a-lot as a child and still get them occasionally as a adult so she’s clearly inherited the tendency from me bless her
