Wondering if anyone has any experience with night terrors or anything else they think might be causing this strange behaviour in my 12 month old daughter?
Background - we moved house on 11th December and have all been sleeping in the same room since while we have work done. My parents have been staying with us for Christmas since the 19th and while I'm on holiday she obviously hasn't been going to nursery but usually goes 8-5 every day. So that's all the things different in her routine. She had her one year old immunisations yesterday.
She had been more or less fine until this week then four days ago she started talking in her sleep more (not real words as she only knows a couple, but just a stream of baby talk). The first two nights it happened at around midnight and lasted 1-2 hours where she was coughing and her dummy would come out and then she would babble away, put her dummy back in and continue to babble until the next cough. The last two nights it has been much worse but last night was horrific. Same pattern that at about quarter to midnight she started coughing out her dummy and then babbling but what was then happening was that for a minute the babbling would get more insistent and distressed sounding until it reached a crescendo and she was shouting and crying and thrashing around for 10 seconds then would calm and the babbling would start again and this minute long cycle then repeated for the next four hours. My partner and I are exhausted, we've had her in the bed to cuddle her and try and calm her and that hasn't helped, she has had Calpol and things to try to help with cough but nothing works.
Just hoping someone else has had something similar and can offer advice/support because we are so tired and don't know if there is anything we can do to help. She is exhausted as well but obviously isn't sleeping properly x
