Aa
mommies with toddler experience! !
Ive not been feeling well all day, so my daughter unfortunately didnt not get a nap because she an daddy played outside and went out for lunch. When they got home she was perfectly herself and chippy... until i told her to settle down.. she grabbed her binki(yes that dreadful word binki) and layed on the couch. Fell asleep watching croods for about 30 min when she woke up screaming and whimpering acting confused. ??? I layed her in bed with me n she whined for a hit and fell back asleep. She has no fever, took her allergy meds this morning. So i dont see what the problem could be other then pure exhaustion from her daddy date today. When i tried to wake her for dinner she insisted on going back to bed, without huggs or kisses.
SO i guess my question i should i be reading between the lines and make a dr app because it was such a drastic change in personality... or is she just tired?

She may just be overtired. My two sons do the same thing. They are almost 2 & 3.. When my 2 1/2 year old does that, I hold him until he's able to wake up completely and then ask him if he wants anything. Usually, laying him back down settles him if he knows I'm close by. Could be hungry too. My son will cry like he has the worst stomach ache when he falls asleep before dinner and then wakes up later on. If he doesn't get up to eat, I'll fix him milk to settle his tummy. Usually works for him...
A lot of times my oldest will wake up and act like he didn't mean to fall asleep and will act scared or confused. He's also in the stage of night terrors. It's a hard thing to go through as a mom, too. Makes me feel so bad for him. My youngest will wake up many times throughout the night other than his normal waking times and cry if he's over tired.
Sometimes Tylenol does help if they've played hard and possibly have sore legs/feet etc. But, I would try food or drink first. I think she's okay. Just very, very tired.

No she just had an exhausting day, and if she is a regular napper then the change in schedule drained all of her energy. Her tummy probably hurts because she is indeed hungry, I would give her a little meal maybe give her a bath if she'll let you and put her back to bed. If she starts running fever (101+) then I would give her tylenol and make her a drs appointment tomorrow.
Poor thing probably doesnt feel good... if she woke up screaming and whimpering... she may have an ear infection... it is very common with toddlers and they often dont know how to tell you or even know that it is their ear bothering them... look for the signs of it.. tugging their ear, not wanting to eat a lot, diarrhea or vomiting, trouble sleeping, foul odor of the ear or yellow discharge, or their balance is off....
I hate the fact of mothers giving tylonal when.its not needed. To make there children fal asleep. So thats whybi was asking lol not like im clueless or anything. Shes just never acted this wayy
Okay, she woke up again saying her tummy was hurting, you thibk i should feed her and give her some tylonal to help thrpugh the night when she goes back to sleep???
My three year old does this. Once every few months he wjll fall asleep playing in yhe floor around 5pm and sleep all evening, all night and until 8 the next morning. He will wake up once or twice thirsty and hot and whine for a few mins and then goes right back to sleep. In my opinion they just do it to recharge and wake up feeling hungry or thirsty and cry out for a bit. But no i dont think its anyting to worry over. If shes at the age where she still does take a mid day nap then its probably just bc her day was thrown off. My sons three and a half and doesnt take a mid day nap anymore so when he does take one rarely he will sleep like that. Its like he jjst needs to recharge or something lol but of course in the end you know your child better than anyone so i guess just go with your gut but from experience i say shes fine
Yes bad dreams
I think she's just super tired or may be coming down with something or both. See how she feels in the am. Especially if your pretty good about sticking to her schedule. Was no nap out of the ordinary?
Terrors as in bad dreams?
My son does that. I've taken him to the dr and they said nothing was wrong. It's just terrors
