2 y/o and nightmares

[PhilippeFlop]

Hi all,

DS has just started having terrible nightmares over the last week. He shares a room with DD so we bring him in with us until he calms down and drops back off as to not wake her too.

Is there anything else that we could try to help calm him? It's horrible to see him so scared

Would a night light help?

Does he normally settle himself to sleep? Has anything recently changed? Toilet training can some times affect sleep.

He is a brilliant sleeper, settles himself well etc. Nothing's changed either. I'm not sure if he is coming down with something though, he's started with a nasty cough this afternoon.

I've got a lovely nightlight somewhere so will dig that out for him.
