Crying in his sleep ??!?!?!
I feel like I'm going mad but last night Zac was quite unsettled, no obvious reason that I can think of (possibly more teeth cutting!?!) and he cried out at about 10.30 and again between 12.30 and 1 ish and and I left him for a few mins (as I usually do) but when I went in to him he still seemed to be asleep so the last thing I wanted to do was pick him up and frighten him... he would cry and then suck on his wrist (its his version of thumb sucking - very strange but whatever works hey!) and then he was ok again for a few minutes then cried again.... I just chose to leave him as he wasn't in distress as such and I thought if I wake him he'll prob be worse but i don't know if I did the right thing or not - he did drop off again and was fine after.... is he the only child that crys in his sleep?? Could it have been a bad dream!? Was I right to leave him? Just was really weird!

I usually don't go in as he doesn't wake and he stops as quickly as he starts so i'd say you did the right thing

In the past I have gone in and soothed her and ended up having to pick her up as I think I stirred her and she cries even more. It takes a while for her to open her eyes,
In the last week she has cried a really sad cry in her sleep My hubbys like u need to go into her. I was like i think shes dreamin and after about 10secs it stops.
I just wont to call out, its ok J we r here still. Somtimes my oh my say shush lowly so she ca hear us and soothingly. Dont know if is has an effect!
