Of late our son Ansh who is almost 3 mnths, has started crying aloud in his dreams...is it a common thing in babies?Today morning while sleeping at 7 am,he cried for at least a min and then i hugged him close and started feding him, so he stopped crying.He sleeps with us duringnight time.I go towork during day time and my in-laws take care of him while we r aways.
what cud be the reason of this kind of behaviour.otherwise ansh is a happy child. Ketaki replied. Hi Sangeeta

same happened with my daughter....but the best thing is to pat the baby or hold him close....i guess most babies do so....in their sleep....u r doing the rightthing....sweet dreams :) sangeeta replied. i know what u mean. thnx for ur advise!! i love to watch him too all the time,even when he is sleeping.but it was so disturbing for me to see him crying, actually wailing...it was the first time.So i thought wud post a message here and see if veryone has experienced that or is it just my child?
Shital replied. Hi Sangeeta,
It's normal thing for child to cry and smile in sleep. Most kids do and there is nothing to worry about. When they cry (And sometimes it's really loud), you can do what you just did last time. Hold them and ensure them that you are close. Rock them and put them back to sleep.

Again, Don't worry. it's normal and most kids do that. It freaked me out first time it happend to my son but after asking around, I realized it's normal for kids. It's fun to watch them when they smile in sleep. It used to be my favorite thing to do to see my son smiling in sleep. I felt it was million dollar smile :) So enjoy your baby.....

Sweet dreams to your little one!
