@IntanDian: Masalah mimpi (buruk biasanya) juga jadi concern-ku. Aku khawatir kl habis aku marahin, malemnya dia tidur ngga enak krn kebawa mimpi. Makanya aku pingin tahu banyak juga mengenai isi mimpi para toddler, tentunya yg udah bisa sharing yah (anakku belum lancar ngomongnya). Udah baca2 referensi lain kah? Mungkin spt Thalia, kita hrs nemuin senjata yg pas buat anak2 spy bobonya enak dan nyaman. Kai yg 13m, kira2 senjatanya apa ya...
Dari babycenter juga:
Toddler sleep concerns: Nightmares
Why they happen
If your child wakes up crying and fearful and has trouble falling back to sleep, chances are he's had a nightmare. These scary episodes usually occur during the second half of the night when dreaming is most likely to occur. Nightmares can be caused by reading a disturbing story or watching a frightening video before bed, not getting enough sleep, or too much stress during the day. The experts don't know for sure if children under the age of two can have nightmares; they're most often seen in preschoolers (around the age of four).
What you can do about it
Respond quickly when your child cries out. Hold him and talk to him about the dream, and stay with him until he calms down. Saying, "It's only a dream" won't mean anything to children younger than two, because they don't understand the difference between reality and dreams. Show your child that there are no monsters under the bed or hiding in the wardrobe. Try reading bedtime books that discuss dreams and sleeping.
If your child's nightmares persist and he's extremely afraid of going to bed, talk to your GP or health visitor. It's just possible that his night-time fears could be symptom of an emotional problem.

Memang faktor2 penyebab masalah tidur anak sangat beragam. Kadang susah jadinya utk tahu apa faktor utama -_- Beneran ngga karena mimpi? Atau sakit gusinya? Huhu, buatku susah... anakku blm bisa bicara jelas. Jadi kl dia bangun malam dan ngebut ke kamarku sambil panggil "Maman, Maman", udahlah sini, aku peluk, bobo lagi di sebelahku. Titik. Bobo bareng sampe pagi, sempit2an bertiga :D Kl Papa ditendangin, pindahlah ke sofa. Toh kejadian ini ngga setiap hari. Skrg seringnya si kecil bangun dan pindah kamar itu di jam2 subuh, jadi aku dan suami lumayan lah udah tidur 4-5jam tanpa terbangun.
Hypnotherapy bbrp kali, it worked. Habis itu daku ngga konsisten... lupa >_<
Estelle skrg udah rajin berdoa sblm tidur. Kl diingetin berdoa, dia langsung teriak panggil kakaknya, "Wawa! Awoh!" - baca: Rara, Allah. Maksudnya si kakak hrs berdoa juga bareng2. Trus tangannya naik ke depan dada, siap2 berdoa ngikutin kami. Kadang ikutan komat kamit sendiri: "Awoh, bobo, nak, aim..." - baca: Allah, bobo, enak, amin. Dia mengambil bbrp kata dari doa tambahan yg kubuat utknya :D Tiap malem jadi geli sendiri...
