newborn nightmares??? help.

edited October 2011 in Sleep
My 3 week old has intense dreams or nightmares and can only rest for about 20 minutes before she scares herself awake. What can I do to help her rest??? It only happens at night.

  • Maybe she isn't having nightmares but is sorta waking up and gets scared because it is dark? Maybe try a nightlight?
  • I never thought of that! My husband the other day was walking her around in his arms and when he got to our hallway that was dark she flung her arms in the air like when baby is startled.
