Have you discussed this with his Dr/Pediatrician? It doesn't sound like a bad temper because usually you can calm an olde rchild down.

My GD had a milk allergy as a baby and she screamed everytime you lay her down.
She was actually in a great deal of pain. Then she would throw up and then it would all start again.

Please take the wee lad to his Dr tomorrow. SOmething other than a tantrum is doing this if he is happy during the day and only does this at night.

I agree, take him to a paediatrician to be checked out. My daughter had a similar problem. She was put on a mild anti-histamine and she eventually outgrew the night screams and bedtime blues. She now sleeps very soundly (she is 11 y/o)but does still suffer with allergies, so perhaps it was a blocked nose and she couldn't breathe.

I received a lot of bashing for giving her meds, but it was either that or I lose my sanity (exH would not even hear her at night, either that or he didn't care!)

Good luck
