Nightmare or Night Terror?

Nightmares and Night Terrors. I see the two get interchanged a lot in mom groups on both the internet and in person. Like teething, I feel that nightmares and night terrors get a bad rep for being the “reason” a child (especially an infant) wakes up screaming and crying. Also like teething, even if these sleep disturbances are occurring, there is most likely more to the story. So how do you know what your child is experiencing, why they are experiencing it, and what to do about it?

This blog will teach you the difference between nightmares and night terrors along with how to combat both so everyone gets a good night sleep.
