Then, he stopped, licked his paws and was like, "oh, hi guys, what's up? Pet me!" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-scariest-thing-happened-last-night#post-956321 Tue, 23 Jul 2013 12:59:42 +0000 chopsuey 956321@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Omg freaky! I would have been scared too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-scariest-thing-happened-last-night#post-956315 Tue, 23 Jul 2013 12:58:15 +0000 travellingbee 956315@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Honeybee: Good idea. I will call. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-scariest-thing-happened-last-night#post-956308 Tue, 23 Jul 2013 12:57:06 +0000 Honeybee 956308@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@travellingbee: it wouldn't hurt! If there is a possible issue, it's better to catch it early, I think. And if nothing else, the doctor can just reassure you that it's normal and nothing to be worried about. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-scariest-thing-happened-last-night#post-956295 Tue, 23 Jul 2013 12:54:36 +0000 travellingbee 956295@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrskc: Mine is teething too so I wonder if it is related. Although he really didn't seem awake at all.<br /> @Honeybee: Our ped appointment isn't for another 2 months. Do you think I should call them?<br /> @Dandelion: Ha Ha! I didn't know cats could have bad dreams. LOL<br /> @Smurfette: Oh I hope this doesn't continue that long. I don't want it to EVER happen again!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-scariest-thing-happened-last-night#post-955509 Tue, 23 Jul 2013 10:07:35 +0000 Smurfette 955509@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That would be really freaky! A guy here at work was telling about his daughter did this all the time up till age 5 or 6. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-scariest-thing-happened-last-night#post-955501 Tue, 23 Jul 2013 10:05:11 +0000 blackbird 955501@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's so creepy but mine does it, too! She just sleep cries!!! I didn't know it was called a night terror, though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-scariest-thing-happened-last-night#post-955480 Tue, 23 Jul 2013 09:55:49 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 955480@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That is so scary!</p> <p>Chloe did this as an infant, and it stopped around 6 or 7 months. It's started back up again, though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-scariest-thing-happened-last-night#post-955478 Tue, 23 Jul 2013 09:55:40 +0000 mrskc 955478@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son did this a few times around that age except he was awake. He just wailed and wailed, even in my arms while I rocked him. Nothing could calm him until he eventually just stopped crying and fell asleep. I chalked it up to teething. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-scariest-thing-happened-last-night#post-955472 Tue, 23 Jul 2013 09:54:20 +0000 Dandelion 955472@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That's scary!</p> <p>My cat did that once! I learned never to wake him up again if he's quietly mewing in his sleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-scariest-thing-happened-last-night#post-955459 Tue, 23 Jul 2013 09:51:34 +0000 Pepper 955459@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So scary!! I would have been really freaked out too... I'm glad he snapped out of it. Maybe bring it up to the pediatrician for ways to handle it if it happens again? That being said, I hope it doesn't happen again! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-scariest-thing-happened-last-night#post-955443 Tue, 23 Jul 2013 09:47:34 +0000 thismustbetheplace 955443@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't have any experience or suggestions, but I just wanted to say OMG your story gave me chills. I don't even know if I believe in posession/demons etc. but I know I would have been freaking out! Glad it wasn't anything serious and that he nuzzled right back to sleep :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-scariest-thing-happened-last-night#post-955441 Tue, 23 Jul 2013 09:46:34 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 955441@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh that's so scary, especially so young! DD did this around 12 months old, and it lasted for 45 min, except her eyes were open - she just seemed out of it. </p> <p>I'm sorry you had to go through that - it's not fun at all. Hopefully your LO will learn to roll back over soon (at least to the side) and you won't have to worry about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-scariest-thing-happened-last-night#post-955440 Tue, 23 Jul 2013 09:46:25 +0000 Honeybee 955440@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My daughter used to do this. She started at around 3 months and fully stopped around 6 or 7 months. She was still asleep but would scream and could not be consoled. It really bothered me, but she always seemed fine after an "episode"; as soon as she actually woke up, the screaming would stop.</p> <p>You might bring it up at your next pedi appointment. Ours said it's not uncommon and isn't harmful, and with time DD grew out of it. Our doctor did a lot to reassure us, though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-scariest-thing-happened-last-night#post-955427 Tue, 23 Jul 2013 09:42:42 +0000 travellingbee 955427@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS is 4 months and has been rolling onto his tummy in his crib lately. Unfortunately he doesn't know how to roll back onto his back, so he sometimes wakes up upset. Last night at 12:45 am, we woke to him fussing on his tummy. DH went to go turn him to prevent him from fully freaking out. When he did, DS freaked out and began screaming like I've never heard a baby cry. He tried to comfort him to no avail and brought him to me to maybe nurse him. Nope. He wouldn't latch and continued screaming and crying and arching his back. I could barely hold him he was flailing so much. The whole time, his eyes were closed and the weird thing was, he still seemed asleep!!!! I started to freak out a bit. It was like he was possessed or something! This went on for about 5 minutes. The more we tried to calm him, the more he freaked. Last ditch effort, I thought I would take him outside since that often calms him, but before I got there, he suddenly "woke up". He opened his eyes and instantly stopped crying. He looked around confused and then just nuzzled into me. WTF???</p> <p>I tried to look it up and it seems it might have been a night terror-- caused by my DH disturbing a transition in deep sleep. Never seen or heard of anything like this, especially so young! Needless to say, we were too freaked out to sleep for a while after that, even though the baby went right back to sleep! </p>
