23 month old waking up screaming

[Babystar23]

Hi my 23month girl has recently started waking up standing up in her cot screaming early hours off morning and won’t go back down unless we put her in bed with us or take her downstairs and she will fall asleep in arms on sofa. But soon as you move her to put her back in her cot she starts screaming again.
She’s normally been a good sleeper just wakes once or twice but goes back to sleep in her own bed and stays till half 6 7.
i don’t want her to get in the habit off been in our bed or taken downstairs when she’s up screaming but its the only way to get her to stop
anyone have any advice on what it possibly could be or what to do

Do you mean calling out screaming or crying screaming?

She is crying screaming/shouting mammy or daddy.
even when we pick her up she’s still crying and any movement we make to putting her back down when she seems settled starts it all over again we barely even get her down to her mattress before she’s rolling and standing up crying again

Look up night terrors. This is a common age to have them. It's awful but the advice is to comfort gently (don't try to wake them fully) and ride it out basically.

Thanks ill look into it
the problem is shes already awake an stood up in her cot so from then on she wont go back down in her cot she can be asleep in my arms but soon as i put her down she instantly wakes up crying and standing up again

Is she actually awake tho? They can appear awake in a night terror and do things like stand up and scream but they're not actually awake and they won't remember it the next day. So keeping response as low stimulus as possible helps because otherwise waking them makes them even more confused and disrupts their sleep further and can cause more distress. If it is that it's really rubbish but they will pass. My older kids are 6 and 3 and both have had periods of night terrors, they usually come in phases and then stop for awhile and then have another little phase etc. I mean I'm not there so I don't know if it is that but it does sound like it to me.

Yes it sounds like night terrors. DD1 had these and they are awful to witness. I think in her case it was an overactive imagination giving her nightmares.

Once she was dry at night we found that taking her to the loo when we went up to bed seemed to give her a calmer sleep.
