My parents can completely empathize with you about night terrors. I had night terrors when I was that age. I don't remember them at all but my parents do. At my worst, I would scream on average 2-3 times a night. Never woke up though. Mom and Dad would come in and just rub my back and talk to me but not wake me up. Doctor told them not to. Took me a few years to grow out of it. I think I was 4 when they stopped. Mom and Dad could finally move me into sharing a room with my sister. It's hard to share a room with a toddler when you scream in your sleep. There's a possibility Niko will sleepwalk when he's older. Our family doctor told my parents that kids with night terrors are prone to sleepwalking. I started sleepwalking in college. Maybe sooner but my sister sleeps like the dead so we'll never know. Lol. I'm not saying your experience will be like mine. I figured I could share my story and maybe it's similar enough that you could get something from it.
