this worked for my daughter!

My daughter went through night terrors for about 6 weeks at about 3 yrs old. We travelled across the country and then she got an ear infection. But they lasted way after the ear infection was gone. She got up every 2-3 hours every night, all night, screaming. She was inconsolable and frequently had to remove her pajamas. She thought there was things crawling on her. She would scream NO NO NO over and over. I finally found a website that said if you put their feet in ice water at the very start of the terror, it would stop. It worked like a miracle! She would be asleep within seconds. It broke the cycle and in a few days she stopped altogether. I know it sounds crazy but ice water on the feet worked as long as it was done at the very beginning of the terror. OH as a side note, she would remember the ice water while it was happening. She would scream NO NO NO FEET IN WATER NO! But in the morning would not remember any of it. Even now 3 years later I jump every time she cries at night.
