Have you ever actually taken care of a child experiencing a night terror? Nothing has happened to the child to bring on the screaming. I've never had a child recall the episode upon waking up.

Keeping the child in the crib is not harming the child. Night terrors happen to some kids. With most of the kids I've had who've experienced them they come about during times the child is overtired or stressed (for older kids). OP said it only happens during an afternoon nap rather than the preferred late morning nap. It sounds like the baby is starting to transition to a one-nap/day schedule. If so it's most likely being brought on by being overtired at the start of the afternoon nap. My hunch is that the night terrors will pass once he has adjusted to having a later nap.

OP...is he transitioning to a later nap? If so, has the transition been gradual?[/quote]
