Hi all, my DD is 20 months old and has always been a generally good sleeper, other than when she’s been unwell or teething.
But for the last 2/3 weeks she’s been waking up every night usually around an hour or two after going to sleep, absolutely hysterical. She will stand bolt upright in her cot and seem’s extremely panicked.
Her usual sleep pattern is usually up at around 8am, she has a nap around 1.30pm until 3pm(ish) then goes to bed between 8/8.30pm.
Most nights she will go to sleep happily by herself with no help needed.
But the last 2/3 weeks as mentioned above, she has been waking around an hour or two after going down, crying hysterically and seems frightened.
Sometimes she only wakes up the once, other nights this will happen several times throughout the night.
She’s not unwell, and I don’t think she’s teething as she’s absolutely fine during the day. So I’m wondering if she might be having night terrors.
Has anyone else here experienced a similar situation? Any advice on how to deal with it would be much appreciated.
