What is sleep talking?
Sleep talking triggers when your toddler talks, laughs, cries out or moans while she’s sleeping.
Your toddler doesnt know shes talking in her sleep and likely wont remember her ramblings come morning.
It may begin around age 2, and can occur up until early adolescence.
If your child is talking in her sleep less than once a week, it’s considered mild.
A more pronounced case would involve a toddler sleep talking every night and for longer than a month straight.
Shes talking, but her speech sounds are mumbled.
Shes talking without any emotion.
Her eyes may be wide open, but she doesnt realize youre there.
She doesnt remember any of this the next morning, or after shes woken up from a nap.
The short answer is, you dont have to.
Sleep talking is normal and not a sign on its own that anything is physically or emotionally wrong.
However, do call the doctor if:
Your little ones sleep talking episodes increase in frequency.
Her conversations are accompanied by limb movements.
She seems excessively sleepy during the daytime.
She seems very agitated during these episodes.
