They are night terrors. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-ever-wake-up-in-the-middle-of-the-night-inconsolably-sobbing#post-1999768 Sun, 28 Dec 2014 12:25:14 +0000 MrsMccarthy 1999768@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! And talking to them is no good. I've read that it's night terrors. Usually from being overtired before bed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-ever-wake-up-in-the-middle-of-the-night-inconsolably-sobbing#post-1999765 Sun, 28 Dec 2014 12:22:32 +0000 mrs. wagon 1999765@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes all the time, both of them. We've learned to let them work it out on their own (it just gets worse if we go in) unless it lasts for more than a few minutes. It SHOCKS me when people tell me their kids sleep all night without waking up or crying. That's never been the norm for us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-ever-wake-up-in-the-middle-of-the-night-inconsolably-sobbing#post-1999566 Sun, 28 Dec 2014 09:40:29 +0000 brownie 1999566@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It sounds like night terrors which are common. One thing that has worked for two kids I've worked with in the past (very young sister and friends kid) was to take them potty. No talking etc just on the pot and off. My son hasn't had them (yet) but if he gets ansy at night it seems to correlate to needing to pee or a super full diaper that needs to be changed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-ever-wake-up-in-the-middle-of-the-night-inconsolably-sobbing#post-1999506 Sun, 28 Dec 2014 08:43:44 +0000 Mama Bird 1999506@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah. It's probably night terrors or nightmares. DS does this sometimes, and for the first 10 minutes talking to him is completely pointless because he doesn't seem fully awake and it doesn't really calm him down. Then he calms down, and usually decides it's time for breakfast and toys :bummed: Takes a while to talk him out of that if it happens to be 3 AM! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-ever-wake-up-in-the-middle-of-the-night-inconsolably-sobbing#post-1999500 Sun, 28 Dec 2014 08:35:01 +0000 lovehoneybee 1999500@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. Once I tried to wake him but he didn't even know I was there. I assume it's a nightmare or terror, crawl into bed with him and hold him, whispering to him that I'm there and I love him and stroking his back. Normally he calms back down (into a deep sleep!) quickly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-ever-wake-up-in-the-middle-of-the-night-inconsolably-sobbing#post-1999424 Sun, 28 Dec 2014 04:36:00 +0000 IcebergMom 1999424@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had this happen a few weeks ago! It was so spooky. She kept asking for me and I was right there! She was so worked up. I had to take her out of bed and watch a few episodes of max and ruby with her. It worked. Haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-ever-wake-up-in-the-middle-of-the-night-inconsolably-sobbing#post-1999407 Sun, 28 Dec 2014 03:16:44 +0000 loveisstrange 1999407@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah. Pretty sure it's night terrors/nightmares. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-ever-wake-up-in-the-middle-of-the-night-inconsolably-sobbing#post-1999394 Sun, 28 Dec 2014 02:09:38 +0000 anonysquire 1999394@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Multiple times. But it might just be because she's hungry and wants to nurse ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-ever-wake-up-in-the-middle-of-the-night-inconsolably-sobbing#post-1999386 Sun, 28 Dec 2014 00:59:06 +0000 Mrs Green Grass 1999386@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah that sounds like night terrors. We've only had it happen once. It's scary because they don't respond to anything...but they're not really awake. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-ever-wake-up-in-the-middle-of-the-night-inconsolably-sobbing#post-1999368 Sun, 28 Dec 2014 00:11:16 +0000 PinkElephant 1999368@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. My (now) 2.5 year old had what I think were night terrors 3-4 times during our move. Picking her up or talking to her made them worse. Besides crying she also would shriek things that didn't make sense, or just Mommy! mommy! &lt;scream&gt; over and over. Eventually it passed as quickly and suddenly as it started. It seemed to be brought on by over tiredness and new places. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-ever-wake-up-in-the-middle-of-the-night-inconsolably-sobbing#post-1999366 Sun, 28 Dec 2014 00:07:22 +0000 yoursilverlining 1999366@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes; this rarely happens at home but happened our first night on vacation. Nothing we said helped, she just cried harder. I took her hands and held them and kept telling her to "belly breathe" (from Sesame Street - take a deep breath) and she did and finally calmed down enough for me to hold her and cuddle her. She sighed and said "oh! That was a big cry!" And then fell back asleep. :meh: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-ever-wake-up-in-the-middle-of-the-night-inconsolably-sobbing#post-1999355 Sat, 27 Dec 2014 23:44:04 +0000 mrsjyw 1999355@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep! Very rarely at home, but just happened an hour ago. We're at ils first home visiting family and he passed out from partying hard w his cousins then woke up inconsolably crying. Me talking or rubbing his back made more tears. He finally calmed down after he let me pick him up after five minutes and then passed out again when I laid him down again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-ever-wake-up-in-the-middle-of-the-night-inconsolably-sobbing#post-1999352 Sat, 27 Dec 2014 23:38:43 +0000 mrbee 1999352@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Purely hypothetically, this may be happening right now. What amazes me is that saying anything usually backfires. The best bet is usually to say nothing and wait for her to calm down and/or just fall back asleep.</p> <p>Does your kid ever do this? </p>
