Babies having nightmares

A friend of mine has a baby and the baby have reoccurring bad dreams daily usually around 6 AM or 12 pm or 6 pm when napping. Does anyone has similar experience or explanation.

Is your concern that there might be some lasting harm to the baby because of the bad dreams? If it is, I’d say that most everybody probably had bad dreams when they were little, at some point. I think it’s a normal thing. Of course, I’m speaking generally—your friend will know their baby best.

Yeah the concern is about the long term effects of that or if there is way to prevent it from reoccurring daily. I personally didn’t know how babies less than 3 years old could have reoccurring nightmares maybe because the brain is not fully developed or exposed to the same stuff like adults.
