I was hesitant in using it for my kids. Californian poppy is an opiate derivative, and valarean is a sedative... so I'd be a bit scared, I supposed in tiny doses it could work. I mean they sell St Johns Wort to humans and its got nasty side effects when used in higher doses (like brain damage).
I've used the Brauer's Calm for night times & sprayed the room with lavender spray before bed.

Yep I've tried Brauer's Calm and it had zero affect on her!
Here's a quick run down of her sleeping probs... https://www.bellybelly.com.au/forums...leep-help.html
So I'm willing to try pretty much anything! It says on the label 2.5-3ml so maybe I'll try 1ml and see how that goes!

I wonder if - using the sleep aid will help sort out some good sleeping patterns for her, and then you can stop using it.

Sorry I didn't mean to discourage you, what I mean is that we've tried so many different things, including medicating her in order to get her to sleep properly. In the end we gave up and let go... in time she does go to sleep. Generally around 8-9pm and will wake once in the night & come into bed with us. We decided to just go with it as it means we can stay in bed now and we get more sleep than we did fighting her and trying to get her back to sleep in her bed.
So we do get more sleep than we did before, but she doesn't go to bed early, and she doesn't sleep through. I think finding what works for you, don't worry about bad habits. Just worry about everyone getting the sleep they need.
sorry! I didn't mean to discourage you.
