recently my girl starts to scream and make a lot of noise, so that I will carry her. lately when she zzz she will suddenly scream. she will raised both her legs up. she will turn her head left to right and right to left a few times before going back to zzz again. what's the reason for all these Behaviour. LO turning 5months in a few days. turning of her head could be fighting sleep. That's all I can assume. do let me have ur views besides sleep fighting. thanks.

Sounds like your baby may be having night terrors. These are sleep disruptions that are likely reaction of fear when the baby is transiting from one sleep phase to another. The baby’s sleep suddenly gets disrupted and he/she may suddenly start crying or screaming in distress. The baby is not aware that he/she is crying, and is not likely to remember this the next morning. Fortunately, night terror is not found to have any harmful effects on babies and will outgrow them. To help, simply make sure that your baby is safe, comfort him/she (if needed) and your baby will eventually quiet down.
