I thought my 15 month old daughter was dying by the way she was acting. That maybe she somehow broke something by sleeping wrong. 12:30 she "woke up" crying. Ok, that happens, I usually give her more water or a snuggle and she's fine. I went in there and something didn't seem right. She was screaming and crying too much, and it was her hurt/scared scream. She was inconsolable.I picked her up and tried to calm her and she wasn't having it, she was throwing herself back and screaming worse. We started trying to look at her from head to toe, nothing looked wrong. We took her downstairs so we'd all be more comfy, and also cause it's a little more soundproof and I didn't want the neighbor calling the cops. We thought she was hurting, so I made up some Tylenol, and this is where I knew for sure something was wrong, she wouldn't take it, in fact she freaked out more when she saw it, which is weird because she absolutely loves her "feel better medicine" and will happily take it even if she doesn't need it.She could stand, walk even, we tried setting her down and she walked the 2 steps back over to be picked up (just to continue screaming, crying, and throwing herself back though). She just was not calming down. We went back upstairs and I just held her and pat her back. Eventually she started calming down with an occasional burst of crying and then just calm.I asked her if she was ready to go back in her crib and I leaned her back and I guess that's when she woke up. Her eyes were fully open instead of just halfway, she smiled, and she was pointing around and babbling to me. She was acting like her normal self again.The whole thing was just over half an hour. And all I know is that it's absolutely terrifying and I don't ever wanna have to go through that with her again. I'm praying it was a one time thing. It was scary for me and my husband trying to deal with it, I can only imagine what was going on in her little brain for her to be like that. via /r/Parenting http://ift.tt/2pccMw7
