moms to toddlers
Please tell me this is normal. My almost 3 year old keeps waking up crying in the middle of the night. This is the 4th night idk what's going on. After the 2nd night he has been sleeping on my bed it's 2:40am and it just happened again but this time he was crying and angry with me he started kicking me and left to his bed and fell asleep. Is this something I should take him to the doctor or it will just pass.. Worry wart over here! Thanks in advance.
My son is 2 and he has nights where he just screams and gets angry with me, he is speech Delayed too so he can't tell me either but over the past few months I've noticed, he's not actually awake. His eyes are open but he's definitely still asleep, its actually a bit unsettling lol
My dd2 is a sleep walker and talker and my brother's and father are all sleep walkers too so I'm wondering is it that.
Probably no help to you, I hope you you figure it out soon. It's exhausting.
Thanks ladies it makes me feel a lot better that is common. I hope this phase passes by soon.
My dd has always been a big dreamer and active sleeper. But she did go through a phase (probably around 2.5) of having bad dreams. She would be so convinced of something and we'd just have to keep trying to comfort her. It could be that there were crabs in the bed or that someone was mean to her.
My son went thru this phase. He would wake up and nothing I did could calm him for a bit, scariest part is that he was asleep the whole time eyes closed and everything. We had a pedi appt and he explained it's a very common occurrence he had a certain name for it but basically it's a phase of night terrors. Some nights would just be minimal whimpering and he would fall right back to sleep, other nights were outright screaming while I held and rocked him tell he fell back asleep whispering comforting words. He was about 2 1/2 when this happened and it lasted about 2 to 3 weeks :/
I'm so sorry y'all are going thru this. It's sad and scary and I consider it a top 10 thing I dislike about parenting. I hope it doesn't last long for you and your sweet boy. Wish there was more I could offer you. ?
My DS is two and does this. He wakes up every single night crying to come sleep in our room. It happened to often, we have a bed set up next to our bed on the floor since that's where he liked to fall asleep and I didn't like the idea of him being on bare floor. He would drag in his pillow and blanket, set it up then tuck himself in and go to sleep. I'm 31+5 so I think he may know something's up
Probably just night terrors. My son who's speech delayed also started having them around 12 months. They stopped when he was around 4.
