Could it be separation anxiety? Mine went through this just before the 2 year mark (in the mornings and during nap time).

could she be teething? otherwise- not sure....my LO has night terrors but they look different than this.

DD1 did this from about 14 months - 18 months. It was a LONG time, except it was in the middle of the night. Not sure exactly what it was, but we would talk to her on the monitor and she would go right back to sleep.

D is doing this, too, but usually in the middle of the night. He wakes up screaming and it takes 5 minutes to calm him down then another 30-45 minutes of rocking him to get him to go back to sleep. He's also been REALLY hard to get down to sleep - it's lately been taking 45-60 minutes of rocking him until he falls asleep and then transferring ever-so-carefully to his crib. If we try to put him into the crib awake or even semi-awake, he screams like a banshee. So I'm thinking separation anxiety? He's 21 months.

And I'm not opposed to a little bit of cry-it-out, but this is like screaming-his-head-off-sounds-like-he's-being-murdered crying. My husband thinks we should just let him go and he'll scream himself out, but he sounds absolutely terrified. I just can't let that go.

This happened to my daughter on her nap this weekend. I think her tummy was hurting. I had to bring her to my bed to hang out and calm down for a little while before we could move on and resume with life.
