Sleep terrors can often be avoided by changing the sleep cycle. During a period when the child is having them at night let the child fall asleep then about 30-45 minutes later wake him or her up and let them go back to sleep. Kind of like the 3 Stooges, "Wake up and go to sleep." -Rob Rob Cordes, DO, FAAP, FACOP general pediatrician Wilkes Barre PA mailto:[log in to unmask] *********************************************** The LACTNET mailing list is powered by L-Soft's renowned LISTSERV(R) list management software together with L-Soft's LSMTP(TM) mailer for lightning fast mail delivery.
