Baby Nightmares

Daniel has them every now and then, we go into him put the lamp on so that he can see us but the light isn't too bright and wait for him to calm down, turn the light off and hold him for a bit and pop him back down.

I remember a friend of my mums saying to me something like "oh babies don't have nightmares, what have they got to dream about?" I disputed her theory. I think that they do.

Cooper does it after he has had his imms. He wakes up screaming, like someone has broken his little heart, we pretty much do the same as Stacey, just give him a cuddle until he's calmed down. Hence, we now dread imms in our house.

I'd limit the amount of coffee you have, I always had one in the morning and nothing more for the rest of the day, as it unsettled him alot. I'm not sure about Tea as I don't drink it.

How old is he?

Joshuasmum...im the same with the ticker :)

my boy was critical in hospital when he was 3 months with a respitory virus he stopped breathing a few times due to the mucus that was as thick as chewing gum in his throat....since then he has nightmares just about every second night.............its horriable, the crying is the worse as you know its a pain cry.........he had a spinal tap and they kept missing .........seeing him go through that and how strong he was just made me so much stronger.....i know he remembers it still as he only does it at night........im actually thinking his back still hurts..........but he is a tough little b'gger........and i dont care how many times i was told that they never remember cause they so do.......:)

did it work did it work???!!!!!!

oh my goodness...............:) i feel so flash now.....im just like everyone else lol................thanks BabyKiwi..........i dont get out much haha

Hi all,
Wow Tysmummy, you guys have been through so much, it must break your heart when your wee man has nightmares. I know how I feel with Josh
They are so perfect that it is so hard to see them suffer. Bad enough in dream land, but to go through a spinal tap with a wee babe. Good to hear he is better now. Hopefully the nightmares wont go on to long???
Hopefully I have figured out how to update the ticker - thanks for the advice Now just have to find a picture small enough to attach :)

try ageain, forgot to tick the yes/no box. did this work??

Yay... finally :) thanks for all the help :)
