Lately my LO has been waking herself up by hitting her head on the sides of the crib. It is a full size crib with breathable mesh bumpers only. How do I know if she's just moves alot in her sleep or is having nightmares?
Only way I knew DD1 was having night terrors was when she woke up screaming. And continued to while looking at me like I was a complete stranger. Hated those. Glad they didnt happen often, well at least to that degree. She still gets very vivid bad dreams.
Is LO totally awake when you get her? Mine had a streak of what I think were night terrors a few months ago. He was crying in his sleep, but not really awake. When I got him from his crib I had to actually wake him up, because he was still dreaming/sleeping.
Update: LO had her 9 month appointment today. Doctor said it's normal to keep waking especially if she is still nursing and she's probably just a little mover when she sleeps.
