Did "Vallergan" used to be routinely prescribed?

I have three boys and have not had a full nights sleep in three years. I still remember cc with ds in between contractions with ds3. Ive done it all too but would never resort to drugs for sleep. Speak to your GP if your little one has sleep problems especially if they are destressed when waking and not even wanting to co sleep. If the first GP won't listen go to another then another it could be adenoids(sp) or sleep apnea (sp) which sedating your baby for could be deadly. There is a reason why they stopped handing it out so quickly.

My gf took her son to a chiro for silent reflux and sleep issues - it helped him

[goddessofdawn]

Sorry can someone please explain what an "osteo" is and how this can help my daughter's night waking?

[goddessofdawn]

EDIT: She *was* sleeping through the night at 17 months (for about 3 weeks), so she is capable of it. Wouldn't this mean that there is no underlying issue?...

[goddessofdawn]

goddess look into magnesium and rescue rememdy,

Do you mean Rescue Remedy 'Sleep'? Only just found out about that, wasn't sure if it was suitable for toddlers.

[Olive]

yup! that and magnesium spray, my osteo agreed that its ok/great for kids/sleep issues.

Goddess - massive hugs for you. My DD1 is 5 tomorrow and still wakes at night. It is really hard, especially when you feel you've tried it all and nothing seems to help. Take care. xxxxx
