    Is it the same time every night?
    Is he aware you're there initially?
    Does he answer coherently or does it not make sense?

    I agree with Tinks in that it is either nightmares as that is the age they become more aware of their dreams or terrors. With the terrors though he won't actually be awake. Sometimes though it's the waking up bit that is quite scary. Their heart is racing and they're screaming and they don't know why - hence the reason you should try hard not to wake them. I know that if DD wakes in the middle of one of hers when I'm trying to help her it's far worse for her.
    Can you have a quick natter to your GP?

    It's anywhere from 1 am till 5am that he wakes up.
    He is sometimes lieing there crying other times standing in cot, when we go in he generally will stand up if lieing down.
    He doesn't talk yet really so nothing makes sense (he only says mum, dad, nup)

    I will get a gp appt organised
