My 2 year old son, who is a twin has been having what I call "nightmares" since he was a small 5-6 month old baby. When he was that age, he would be sleeping, then he would whimper in his sleep and frown, then if I didn't pat him and reassure him he was okay, he would began to cry. Now that he is 2, he does the same thing, start whimpering in his sleep, then if I don't pat his back and catch him in time, he starts screaming bloody murder! His eyes will be closed, like he's sleep, (and I think he does be sleep still) but you can't wake him up! His body is limp and he will be crying bloody murder. It takes a few minutes to "wake" him, and once he's awake, he goes right back within a few minutes and sleeps through the rest of the night. This only happens maybe 1-2 times every so often. I have talked to the pediatrician, and she says it sounded like night terrors, but he's too young for those, so she didn't have an answer for me? Can anyone suggest what I can do? The other kids are fine?!
