Do children (2 year olds) get night terrors after eating ice cream at night?

My wife believes this is true, based on the opinions of her friends. I am wondering if there is any factual basis for this.Do children (2 year olds) get night terrors after eating ice cream at night?
';occasionally, your child may wake up from a nightmare. bad dreams are common among toddlers, who still cannot distinguish between imagination and reality. ofter if they hear a scary story or see violence on television, the images will stay in their minds, later cropping up as nightmares. and if they remember dreaming about a ';monster';, they may believe the monster is real.





when a nightmare awakens your toddler, the best response is to hold and comfort her. let her tell you about the dream if she can,and stay with her until she's calm enough to fall asleep.





your child will have nightmares more frequently when she's anxious or under stress. if she has bad dreams often, see if you can determine what's worrying her in order to ease her anxiety. for example, if she's having nightmares durring the period when she's being toilet trained, relax the pressure to use the potty and give her more opportunities to be messy through finger painting, or playing with her food. some of her anxieties may involve her separation from you, time spent in cihld care, or changes at home. talking can sometimes help prevent these stressful feelings from building up.





at bedtime, put your toddler in a good frame of mind for sleep by playing quietly with her or by reading her a pleasant story. soothing music may also help calm her as she falls asleep, and a night-light will help reassure her if she wakes up.';








nope, nothing about ice cream...and dammit, my wrists hurt lol...Do children (2 year olds) get night terrors after eating ice cream at night?
I dont know if that is true or not?! My kids has only had a few night mares. And she is 2. She hasnt had them after eating icecream though. And she drinks a milk sippy every night while going to sleep.
No ice cream will not directly give a child night terrors. However if you eat something sweet before bed your little brain get get going and a dream can become a night terror. I have a 2 year old son who has had night terrors for the last 10 months. They can be brought on by stress and changes in thier life. They are scary and not to be mistaken for a bad dream. Here is a typical night terror night: My son goes to be at 8pm, by 9:45 or 10pm he is up and screaming, a scream like you have never heard, he has no idea we are there with him, he says things that are not understandable, he will cry but no tears will come out. He will pace and move around and then lie down where ever he is. This can go on for 10 - 40 minutes. He will usually go right back to sleep and not have any idea this has happened. He will wake up from it only 1 out of every 10 times. When he does wake up, he acts suprised that we are there with him. Like he has no idea we have spent the last 40 minutes trying to make sure he does not hurt himself.


They are not fun, and get him to a DR soon to get a true diagnoses. Give your child a strict routine, make sure they nap in the same place everyday, and eat at t he same time, and go to sleep at the same time same place. When we have a few weeks of a perfect routine and no stress or changes my son does great. BUt if things come up, we go to a party a weding, and overnight trip, it gets 10 times worse.


Good luch and night terrors are nothing to mess with your child can really get hurt or hurt someone.
My child get night terrors not based on what he ate, but I think his day activities. If he went to a unfamiliar place or encounter something that we found common ( like watching a simply family show) he would have night mares and cry and scream without ever waking up. I try to ceate a calm atmosphere before bedtime. MAybe his bathtime before bed or just sitting and reading to him. It helps sometimes but if we went out during the day, its hard to tell what he encounter that may trigger the night terrors at night
Sugar can have a great affect on a child's brain.


But not every child is affected by sugar.


refer to mayoclinic.com as a great resource.


Mostly this problem is insulin based.


Children with insulin problems need more protein.


My child has never reacted to sugar but I still only let him have it afternoons to 6pm latest.
I was informed by my pediatrician that certian foods can cause night terrors and one of the main ones was dairy products. You should ask your doctor.
