Baby night terrors

[tiredmumsclub88]

Looking for advice on night terrors. I have a 16wk old (12 adjusted) baby, who has on 3 or 4 occasions including about half an hour ago, woken up screaming and sobbing inconsolably with night terrors. It's not hunger or thirst or pain- it's emotional. Does anyone know if there is any way to relieve him of them? Something I can stop eating to help?(he is mixed fed due to poor latch).
Thanks xx

Seems a bit young for night terrors. What happens if you feed and cuddle?

Sounds very young for night terrors.

Far too early for night terrors. Is he not just Hungry or in pain?

I agree that night terrors is v unlikely in a baby so small. It can be normal for a baby to be very distressed upon waking if they are hungry or in pain or if they just want you. Can I ask what makes you so sure it is not these things?

Normally when he wakes up he stirs, moves his head from side to side and just moans- this is full blown sobbing. It's only cured by cuddles 😞

my 13 week old does this too but only ever during day time naps when he has been asleep in car seat or on me. it has never happened at night. I assumed it was due to being uncomfortable perhaps pins and needles or something or just being startled.
