Elijah had night terrors a few times and from what you said about Aiden not seeming to recognize you and the fact that he continued to scream when you were holding him, that's what it sounds like to me. Our pediatrician said that it happens at a certain point during the child's sleep cycle and that if you go and pick them up it can force them to wake up (because they're not actually awake when they're screaming) which causes the sleep cycle to start over again and can result in the same thing repeating at that same point in the sleep cycle. He told me to go in and sit near the bed and watch him, if he stood or reached for me then it meant he was awake and I should hold him, however if he was just screaming and staring into space then I was supposed to just stay near by until it passed so that he could continue through his sleep cycle. If it happens again I would look into it or talk to your pediatrician.Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14575684622236121975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-966046286174764157.post-57165700435545499872011-08-07T08:16:50.928-07:002011-08-07T08:16:50.928-07:00It could be a night terror if nothing helped him c...It could be a night terror if nothing helped him calm down. I don't know a lot about night terrors, but what I understand is that it is usually 1-2 hours after they fall asleep? I could totally be wrong. But, it's worth looking into. My sis-in-law would have to just sit in the room with my niece while she went through a night terror. Her eyes would be open, she'd be screaming, and sis-in-law couldn't really do anything to help her. And, my niece was between 9 mos and 1 year when it started. That's the first thing that popped into my mind when I read this. Good luck! It could be something else entirely.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15819262207910764454noreply@blogger.com
