My 7 1/2 month old screaming through night?

[citygirl1]

Hi ladies.

My boy the past 2 nights has woke up in middle of night screaming. He doesn't seem fully awake but is in hysterics. His dummy won't console him so we cuddle him for 5 mins and put him back down as he's drifted off.

Anyone else experiencing this with a baby of similar age and have any idea what's wrong?

It almost sounds like night terrors or nightmares. Does he do this multiple times at night or just once?

 

[citygirl1]

Just the once so far, past 2 nights.

Could be his teeth - my eldest used to do this

Might be teeth then. He doesn't seem in too much distress with them during the day though?

I feel your pain. Is your Lo ok through the day?

same here but she wakes what feels like every hour crying, only started in the past week. strange!

It's a strange one. Must either be teeth, nightmares or perhaps the start of separation anxiety? Seems to be quite common round about this age, the screaming.

She is a bit moany through the day as well but mainly if she is irritated at not being able to do/get something. Not really sure if its the teeth.
