We have not had that problem, so sorry I can't give advice. My friend's son has night terrors, and I feel so bad for you guys, and I've seen it first hand when we've gone camping with them. I hope she outgrows it quickly. Poor baby....(momma too!) I’m sorry you’re going through this. We have not had that problem, so sorry I can’t give advice.

I spent hours rocking Karate Kid when he was a baby. He never consistently slept through the night until he was at least 18mo, and only then because we were desperate enough for some good sleep that we put him in bed with us. I wish I had some great advice, but I'm fresh out. Sorry. Oh, I feel for you!!! I spent hours rocking Karate Kid when he was a baby.

If I'm awake from the screaming and can't sleep anyway, why not take that time to console, rock, cuddle, whatever works to help the screaming let up faster. I agree with the others that it may be night terrors, although it could be that she's going through a growth spurt and she's hungry or having leg cramps. Maybe try giving her some high potassium foods, like bananas at night. Also, if you take her to bed with you she may feel better and sleep better. Just my thoughts. Hope you get some sleep soon!

What we do is scoop them up and sway and normally, that would snap them out of it. But with night terrors, what I've read so far states that you just need to cuddle and whisper them and it pierces their minds and they relax coz it's your voice telling them that it's okay. I never did agree with letting them cry it out. They're only lil once. I want to cuddle them any chance I can. And don't worry, you're not a bad mom. Anyone who has been sleep deprived tends to have murderous thoughts. I can never let my baby cry it out. What we do is scoop them up and sway and normally, that would snap them out of it.
