Frequent Nightmares

mollyxcate · June 2013

Anyone else's LO dealing with this? I'd say 5 or 6 nights this week Chloe has woken up sobbing! It's not at the same time every night but at this point I go to bed wondering when she's going to have one. I always scoop her right up and she cries for another minute or two, hiccupy cries like after shot. If I put her back down she goes right back to it. It's not the same as her manipulative cry though, you can tell she's so scared to be alone. If I bring her back to bed with me she's fine but she will stay right up against me. If I put her down too far from me the crying starts again. Normally she's no one for cuddling either. By morning she's calm and fine with her space though.

Bella has them too.Maybe every week or so. I feel so bad for her. It takes her a good 10 - 30 mins to calm back down before she'll go back to bed.

Cecilia gets them too. When it happens, she won't let me put her back down, unless I put her in my bed and let her cling to me all night. Weird.

Seems to happen about once a week over here. It's exactly how you say it is, the cry is different and you can totally tell he's terrified of something. It's heartbreaking!

Evie has been having them too. I hate it so much. We've fought so hard with cio that I'm fain to go in an scoop her up, but my husband will go in and lay her back down and turn on her seahorse. If after three seahorses (15-20 minutes) she hasn't settled in, I nurse her. It's getting more consistent in a bad way
