Oh man, my friend has that same problem with her 18 month old. Of course, she gives in and lets him sleep with them. But on the nights she doesn't, he refuses to go back to bed.

Does he nap frequently during the day?

Do you think your child may have night terrors?? My youngest had them horribly and slept like your child does! Ill cross my fingers for you!

Another one of my friends child had that!! But, we figured out, that it was because the mom took the radio out of the baby's room. Normally, sshe would wake up, hear the music and soothe herself back to sleep.

She put the radio back on and she got better.

tylenol sucks! I would def. Suggest hylands teething tablets they are awesome, and motrin since he is old enough for it.

oh my .God, I pray my daughter never has night terrors. I'm getting teary-eyed even thinking about it! How horrible for a child!

That's terrible .Sammy!!!

I went through this with .Jordan, so I know what you are going through, except it had nothing to do with teething. I hope it gets better hun!

I am so sorry for you hun, I am hoping that I don't go thru that. I hope that it's not night terrors. That would be awful. Don't even want to think about .Melia going thru that. Aaawww it's too sad. Maybe it's just his teeth and he will get thru this in a few days or weeks.

Poor baby.

Whats night terrors ??? Nightmares??

Night terrors are worse than nightmares. The child wakes up screaming and, well, terrified, and sometimes they can't be comforted. They're usually covered in sweat and their pupils are big.

They're awful.

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

My youngest has night terrors, as did my husband when he was a kid up until he was 12. The worst part is just not being able to help them, I have to slightly shake him to wake him up when he's screaming and shaking, he has a glossy look in his eyes...Like he's sleep walking. When I do manage to wake him he shakes for about 5 minutes then passes out. Last time I remember asking him to spell his name out loud to help him think of something else. In the morning he has no recollection of any of it. I don't remember him having them until about age 3 though. I let him sleep with us when he has one. I feel horrible for the poor kiddo .

My son, used to have night terrors but he hasn't had them in a while thank god, it is the scariest thing a parent can go through. The first time he had it he was two months old....He just woke up rigid and screaming with his eyes wide and terrified, nothing would comfort him and nothing was registering, its like he wasn't seeing or understanding me. I almost felt like he was trapped somewhere inbetween sleep and awake. After a while, I stopped trying to wake him up because they said that if you try to hold them too tightly or try to wake them up then you only make matters worse. So whenever it happened, I just turned on the light and removed him from the area and just walked around with him and talked to him in soft tones until he snapped out of it. I realised that this method helped alot.

Well it is 11pm -my time and nathan just stoppped freaking out. It was really hard to handle. I had to go to the mall and blow a bunch of money after supper. He has been cranky all darn night.. The crying....When is it going to stop. I am so glad he wasn't like this as a infant...

I don't know how mothers cope.........What can I do to get through this? Is it just a stage?....Howlong will it last?
