A friend of mine told me this about her grandson. She gave me permission to post it because we need to hear it! <<My grandson has had night terrors since he was a few months old.  He screams and thrashes and is impossible to comfort and very difficult to wake and calm.  It is really upsetting to see him like this at 3 AM.  He is now 3 1/2 years old.  Last night he had another terror.  After my daughter woke him and got him calm (about 1 hour) she asked him what frightened him.  He has never answered her before.  This time he said "Mommy, don't let the nurses poke my heels, it Hurts!"  He hasn't had a single heel poke or anyone messing with his feet since he was in the NICU!!!!  Who says babies don't feel pain!  Who says the way they are handled doesn't matter???  This gives me shivers!>> Pat Bucknell IBCLCAvon Lake OH
