What Causes My 16 Months Old To Be Awake And Crying All Night?
my daughter is 16 months old. Every night she wakes up from her sleep crying and screaming. She cannot be consoled and at times we end up awake all night. She gets into such a state and is very distressed. what can I do? My cousin is epileptic and takes seizures in her sleep I am worried this is what is happening

Hello,
What is her sleep routine? If she is sleeping in the day, then she will be awake at night. Check for any abdominal pain or ear infection.
If the baby is having colic, give her colic drops and watch for it or if he plays so much in a day, then maybe, she is tired or having muscle pain. Try to give Panadol in that case.
If she is wet in diapers, or it is too cold, or too hot, or she sleeps hungry, figure out among all these problems.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Hina Javed
