Night terrors?

We’ve been having the same recently. He’s been waking up some nights screaming crying refusing to open his eyes and he gets himself that worked up he starts projectile vomiting everywhere to the point me and him are covered. He can sometimes cry for up to an hour and a half…
How weird! Exact same thing happened to use the other night and all my NCT friends have said they’ve had terrible nights too. He was just utterly inconsolable and I couldn’t do a thing to calm him down. He’d usually just conk out on me eventually and then I’d put him down and the same cycle would start. Went on till 3am 😴 it only happened that one night but he was very upset going down last night and it took a lot longer to settle him. I wonder if it’s a developmental thing?
Is it like sleep walking where they are semi awake or appear to be awake but actually they might still be in some form of sleep. I've seen my baby in this semi awake state too, it seems a bit weird when it happens but I convince myself he's not actually fully awake or aware etc ..
Yeah my boy has had a few of these now, usually happens when he is very overtired but can't be certain what causes them!xx
I’m wondering if we had something similar last night. She’s had a cold but it was on its way out, and woke up uncontrollably crying and upset. Settled her back to sleep on me twice but every time I put her down she freaked out. Then my husband managed it. Then she woke 2.5 hours later exactly the same, so I got ready to sleep with her in our spare room and when my husband handed her over to me and left she got so worked up she made herself sick. Has never happened before and I’m praying it’s a one off 😬 Must be so hard if it’s been every night this week >_< maybe a chat with a HV and escalate to a gp if needed? Hope it passes soon x
