What Can Cause Child To Shout And Cry In Terrible State While Sleeping?
My 3 year old daughter has been having terrible sleep for the past week. She wakes up shouting and crying in a terrible state about 2 hours after she falls asleep. Ive moved to her bedroom and stay with her all night, it doesnt seem to make any difference. she is seldom aware that im there. What i dont understand is that this continues for the entire night. If this is night terrors why is it lasting the whole night? - were all exhausted!
Hi, understand your concern. abdominal colic can lead to discomfort which can cause such prolonged cry overnight. Night terrors however is teh common reason but as you rightly said it should not last all night. make sure child drinks good amount of liquids and has a healthy diet especially before going to bed at night. if there is constipation, that needs to be addressed as well. regards
