    Screaming at night unable to console

    Hi all

    Thought I might post here in the desperate hope someone might be able to help. My 23 month old since about feb has had increasing frequency night waking screaming and inconsolable. At first we thought it was night terrors as she seemed not to recognize us abd was also sleep walking and they would end after about 15 mins if we did not interfere. They are just about evening now. Lately however they be been going for an hour or 2 happening during the day and you can communicate intermittently with her. She also now remembers these. We are waiting on a sleep study however after talking with her she tells me she is angry with her baby sister but can't articulate why. I have read getting a special sleep toy can help so I am going to try that but other than just about everything is there anything else?

    Thanks in advanced one stressed out and upset Mummy

    :hugs: That's a very hard thong your family is going through.

    I think her own special toy is a great idea.
    Maybe some rescue remedy with the sleep aid?
    No real suggestions. Just lots of hugs for y'all

    I've heard wonderful things about sour
    Cherry, something to try if the rescue remedy doesn't help. Also my daughter wasn't screaming but she would wake crying and we would spend an hr trying to get her back to sleep and I heard Epsom salt baths are calming. We found them really helpful.
