need advice

[clairewysockyj]

I've got a 14month old boy he was sleeping through the night but the last 3weeks he wont go to bed he screams like hes scared! I eventually get him to bed 2hours later and hes then awake at 4.30 every morning screaming.has anyone got any advice? Also hes started hitti g out at me and others!I dont know if maybe its all connected!if any one has any advice it would be much appreciated. Thanks

Could it be teething? Or a growth spurt? My DS whilst a fantastic night sleeper on the whole would have a fortnight every couple of months that were utter disaster sleep wise. He also would go through patches of smacking/biting etc. They always seem to result in a new tooth, his clothes not fitting from a growth spurt or a developmental leap. I found he got frustrated easily as his communication wasn't there to explain he was hurting etc. I would just try and be consistent with how you handle it and hopefully you'll be out the otherwise of the phase soon

Thank you I read on the internet that if they wake up same time every night that it could be bad dreams. The way screams its like someones hurting him and when I go in he clenches on to me. Ive gotmy healtg visitor coming out monday to see if she can help

Dd 20 mths still has these weird night screams - normally they stop but occasionally she wants the cover back on/drink/dummy some nights you just have to let then cry it out (especially when very young) it does help you later
