Crying in sleep
Dylan sleeps really well, (a bit too well yesterday I barely saw him ( ) but recently in the middle of some naps or at night he's started to whinge/cry. Last night he woke me at 4am crying usually he only cries once then stops. This continued so I went to check on him, he was flat out and didn't stir when I went in and looked really peaceful.
Does anyone have any idea why he's crying, is it dreaming? I hate to hear him cry will happily sit up with him and comfort him but I cant do that if he's asleep!

my lo does this occasionally, was unlike him., he just suddenly started doing it occasionally at night, from about 6 months onwards he was really really crying, and when i checked on him he was fast asleep! i can only assume he was dreaming? it horrible hearing them cry, when you dont know what the problem is!

Think its pretty normal hun, not very nice but normal xxx
Last night he was settled so I didn't pick him up as i'd of woken him and he didn't need it but there have been times especially during naps when only a cuddle will do. It feels completely unnatural to me to wake him up, but if he's that upset its hardly restful sleep!
Thanks ladies for your help

My LO is 8.5months and this last month has had 4 more teeth appear and has another one on the way and this is the only time he cries out in his sleep.
Hope he gets those teeth through soon. x
My LO does this too - a couple fo times he's really cried loudly but when we get to him he's fast asleep! As others have said I presume its dreaming or wind. Reassuring that other babies do the same though! x
