My 1 year old wakes up between 2 and 4 every morning, screaming and crying, and does this for 30 minutes to 3 hours. She does not get a bottle at night, i ve given her a night light, toys, comforted her, let her sleep in my bed, let her cry it out (is what happens most nights) music and she also sleeps with a fan for white noise. We have ruled out night terrors. Nothing has worked, she still wakes up screaming. I have been trying to pinpoint what is triggering it. I have noticed that when she sleeps on her stomach (which is 99% of the time) she screams, the few times she has slept through the night (in 4 or more months) it has been when she has stayed on her back. I am out of answers...and ideas. I am starting to get worried that this isn t just a phase or stage and that there is something more serious going on...help?
Nothing is serious about this At this age this pattern at night seems quite common, there can be multiple factors for this like night terrors, hunger cry, thirst, parents anxiety etc. none is related to any illness. For this you can try one solid feed following water before a sleep, and try to give water without awakening in between the sleep if accepts. Your problem can be solved. Also, at this age during sleep (lying position) in some child Chat Doctor.  If it causes more problem can be treated with a tire fluxes medications.
