NIGHT TERRORS HELP!
My lo is 13m and for the past 1-2 weeks has been leeting out sceems in her sleep and sobing. When I go to her she is still fast a sleep. Once she was sat bolt upright and the sound she was making really scared me. Im not sure whats causing it or what to do. She sleeps realy well and even these epesodes dont wake her.:\?

As the others say they dont remember it however it is horrendous for you as you feel so helpless, i tried loads of things waking up before they usually started never helped but i found that if you made it into their room at the first cry it was quicker to settle him, i used to sprint up the stairs then just stroke his head gently and speak calmly to him and that often averted it.
However if a full scale terror was going on I found that if i went in and just talked to him in a normal voice about normal things (tomorrow we are going to do this/that) it was as if the normality soothed him also found if dh came in after sometimes the tone of his voice settled him straight away.
Try not to worry they are actually a good sign and show that your lo's imagination is developing.
