Why does baby have nightmares?

If your baby wakes up almost every night crying and terrified because of bad dreams, don't worry, nightmares are part of a child's psychological development.

  • Nightmares are very useful to the child, just like dreams.
  • They allow him to act out all the frustrations he has experienced.
  • Between what he wants to do and what he can do, your baby realizes that he does not have all the power.
  • Before the age of 4, he is unable to distinguish between what is dream and reality.
  • A small light by their bed or a magic object that can keep monsters away is also a good idea.

Hey I’m new on here. I just wanted to see if anyone has been through anything as similar as I have. Here’s my story. I got pregnant in July of 2021. It was the best news I’ve heard that year I then went through the 9 months and got my baby boy Kingston on April 18th 2022. It was the happiest day of my entire life he was so precious and the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. 3 weeks later on May 10th I woke up living an actual nightmare my baby passed away to SIDS that day. They say it wasn’t my fault and there was nothing I could do but I always feel guilty that I’m here and my son is not. I was sleep for two hours tops. I put him to sleep and then eventually fell asleep and woke up feeling something wasn’t right so I went to check on my baby and his lips were purple. That was the worst thing I could possibly see and go through in my life and I’m sorry to all the moms who have been and are going through that. I then found out in June of 2022 that I am pregnant. I am currently having another baby boy in March of 2023. This is the most scariest shit of my life. Don’t get me wrong I’m happy that I’m pregnant with his brother and that I’m having a baby. I just miss my King and I don’t want anything like that to ever happen again with my Percy. I’m just terrified and I’m hoping for the best always it’s just hard to be going through this. So if any has any advice who has been through this pls contact me. And for other people please don’t say dumb things like “I can’t imagine” or “some things are meant to happen” bc nothing is meant to happen and you clearly can’t imagine and I promise you don’t want to and I hope you will never have to.

Am I a Karen or something? Haha I have some friends at work that are wayyy too excited about me having a baby and sometimes when people make comments like “Okay, your baby needs to come right now! Because I can’t wait” or people say “It’s time to have your baby now!! Please have your baby!” I know that they say that to be cute and it means that they are very excited, but it always bothers me a little bit because I’m 21/22w and not even in my worst nightmare I would wish my baby to come so early. I don’t say anything besides “No, let’s keep the baby inside my belly for a few weeks more.” But do you guys think I sound like a Karen having those comments bothering me? #amIaKaren #21weeks #protectivemom

This might be a weird question, but I'm curious if anyone else had this happen. Has anyone seen their baby have a nightmare ?

My baby just had the most piercing cry I’ve ever heard in his sleep as if he had the worst nightmare. The worst part is, his father laid in bed snoring. First I’m concerned about why my baby woke up screaming like that and it hurts when I don’t know why. But I’m now more concerned to ever leave him with his father. What would happen if I wasn’t around?

Hello. I’m 8 weeks. Y’all, why am I not attached to this baby ? The baby’s father, takes me thru a nightmare every other day, I’m emotionally drained. I don’t know what else to do.

I never been so emotional more then now . I’m not excited at all to have my baby . This whole pregnancy been a nightmare. I been so lonely, sad , depressed. Just all the above . It’s all just hitting me at once . I don’t have that extra support from its dad . He just been doing him & play like I’m stupid when I know he messing around . He makes me sick to my stomach. I’m just so over it all . The most happiest moments I’m supposed to have are over with . I’m just not happy at all . I pray I don’t have postpartum depression smh
