Desperate, just turned 2 DS absolutely hysterical at nighttime what doI do?

[Monstersincq]

All of a sudden he seems so scared. Desperate to get out of cot at bedtime and seems
Really scared. Then up in middle of the night absolutely beside himself.

Spent a few nights sleeping on the floor in there but know it is madness. Trying to be tough and just go in and reassure every ten mins. Is that the right thing to do? I just don't know. It seems like there is so much less advice out there than for babies.

Help help I am so exhausted.

night terrors?
Not overheating, is he? that gives me nightmares.

I wish I had some answers for you because I'm going through something similar with my ds 2.2. He's happy enough going to bed but will wake screaming. I ended up watching the bloody gruffalo at 2am this morning because couldn't find a way to calm him. Know I'm making a rid for my own back but don't know what to do....
Thinking of you OP

Did no nap today in te hope will make him really tired for tonight. Going to give the gina ford method a go tonight! Pray for me!

Could you co-sleep for a few nights as a temporary measure? Perhaps your ds has developed a phobia of some sort & needs you close as reassurance.

Hello! I've just just bought the sleep whisper tips on sleep and there is a large section on toddler sleep/ standing up in cot. Mine is six months and driving us up wall so were ploughing on with this..... In for a penny and all that .

we've had this with 20mo dd1, I'm hoping it is teeth as then it will stop. been 3 nights so far...
