Severity of night terrors:
Some of the children who face the episodes of night terrors once in a month do not have any chance of serious harm. The medium stage of the symptoms that may occur once in a week is also considered harmless. But the severe case can be the repetition of the episodes every night and this can result in physical injury of the child or the other family members. In such instances the parents should consult the sleep specialist for further treatment.

I can still remember the nights when I have to cradle my older son hour after hour to put him into sleep. Sometimes he used to wake up at the middle of the night within every 1-2 hours and kept on crying until he was soothed again. I was seeking out the better ways to comfort my baby. Alike all the new parents I checked out various methods I heard from anyone. The steps of help guide books and programs or any suggestions from the friends and kin , even the noise tools and all the CDs of serene music that calms people– I left no stone unturned but unfortunately nothing worked out.
