I need help ladies. Brianna for the past week has been going to bed, falling asleep on her own, then waking up SCREAMING like a scared scream 15 minutes later. She does this every time the only thing that soothes her is to pick her up. Then once she's being held she'll go back to sleep but when I go to put her back in her crib she immediately wakes up and starts screaming.
We've tried feeding her, seeing if she needs a change, burping her, we've put orajel on her teeth and none of its worked. We've tried giving her a nightlight and that doesn't work either. She literally wakes up and screams like she's terrified and only wants to be held and comforted and even then she whines. Some nights its worse and the ONLY way to get her to sleep is to put her in bed with us. Some nights are worse than others. But generally her bedtime is 830 and she starts this around 845 and eventually wears herself out from crying at around 11 but sometimes not til 2am.
Someone mentioned to me that its a slight possibility that she's having nightmares?! Is that even POSSIBLE at her age?! Nothing has changed with her daily routine, she hasn't had any new foods or anything that she'd be having a reaction to. Is there ANYTHING I can do to help my poor girl go to sleep?! She's wearing herself out and its making for a very cranky baby during the day
If you made it with me this far THANK YOU lol I realize its long but I have no idea how to help my little girl
