For those of you who've used it, does it make bubs sleepy?
DD has been sleeping really badly for the last week or 2 and also grumpy during the day and I was wondering if the problem was maybe some teeth moving around in there, though I can't see anything. She usually wakes up a couple of times in the night but goes straight back to sleep with a feed but lately she's been a nightmare and sometimes up for hrs before we can get her back to sleep and waking every 1-2hrs!!!!!!!
She is chewing on everything and drooly but she has been like that for a while. Lately when feeding she has also been chomping down on my nipple (ouch!) and she's also been pulling her ears so I thought well maybe it is teething. So I gave her some of the Brauers one night to see if it would help and she slept sooooooo good, only woke once!! I've given it to her a couple of other nights too and she has slept better than usual.
But now I feel guilty (as you do, lol ). I'm not sure that it's teeth or anything, I can't see anything on her gums at all. So does the Brauers just make her sleepy?? Then I just feel like I'm sedating her with medication or something so I can get some more sleep when she doesn't really need it, lol. Does that make sense?
i dont find it makes ds sleepy ie if i give it to him in the day he isnt sleepy... but if he is teething and i notice early enough to do it before bed he sleeps a lot better...
i find it works best when i do it before he wakes screaming... when he is showing signs it will be a bad night bc of teething e.g. drooling, irritable, biting, red cheeks etc. he is a bit older though so the signs are easier to spot.
I have noticed that too! mind you with homeopathic medications there is so little of the actives in there.....? I dont know, I mean the teething one has belladonna in it which is prob waht makes them sleepy.
my ds started crying in his sleep when he started teething around 3 months, a month later two popped up!
look at it this way, its gotta be better than dosing them up with panadol every night.
Yeah, definitely better than panadol. I just wish I knew if it was definitely teeth or not bc then I wouldn't feel bad about it bc there would be a reason for giving it to her iykwim. Just don't want to be giving it to her for no reason or just coz I want her to sleep better.
Would be good to know if she's sleeping better bc it takes away the pain (if she's in pain?) or bc it just makes her sleepy.

its so heartbreaking hearing them scream and cry like that, especially when you dont know what it is. it does sound to me like shes teething, same things my ds was doing anyway.
he is getting his top 2 atm, some nights I want to wake him up and give him something cos hes whimpering, but I dont want to wake him for nothing kwim?
