didn't cry last night

[Guest guest]

For some reason didn't have night terrors last night.

As far as we know hasn't had anything stressful/out of the norm going on

in her life, so we can't figure out why they started. We did go to a Breakfast

with Santa last Saturday, but as far as I remember they started before then...

Re: waking up crying

My typical son also has night terrors. He gets them really bad

whenever Amy is admitted to the hospital and I go and stay with her.

He does continue to have them for a few weeks after I get home but

they do eventually stop. He also gets them when he has a busy day

and hasn't had much time to unwind before going to sleep. When he

does have them we found that just putting him back in bed if he got

out and rubbing his back while shhhhhhhing him worked best. At first

we would try talking to him to find out what was wrong and this just

agitated him more and took longer for him to calm down.

Hope they end soon as they are not fun. Good luck
