    I know I love Brauer's Insomnia relief for myself. Never thought to use it on bub though. All the best for a good night tonight!

    Im a big fan of rescue remedy but it does have alcohol in it, so maybe check at a chemist or with your Doc. xo

    Thankyou for your replies.
    We have just stuck with the panadol today and I am sending DP out tomorrow to get some brauers (sp) teething remedy. Dont wanna give him panadol longer than I have to.
    But I am sure at some point the sleeping potion will come into its own.

    I wouldn't. Its basically alcohol with minor flower extracts for flavouring.

    I'm pretty sure you can get one specifically for kids that doesn't contain the alcohol, but that might just be the normal rr

    It's the essence of the flowers that do the work, the alcohol is there to preserve it. I imagine they might have given you the remedy preserved in glycerine for bubs, but if not you can put the drops in warm/hot water first and the alcohol with evaporate off leaving the active components behind.

    Brauer's Calm is for babies/children for sleeplessness. I'd be inclined to use that rather than rescue remedy unless it is one designed for children. A lot of herbal remedies aren't recommended for under 6 months.. and sometimes even 2 years.. so I'd be very careful with a 4 mth old.

    I dunno about warming it to remove alcohol content. I've read recently that alcohol doesn't actually cook out of food so it might not work. And some of the extracts might lose their properties above certain temperatures. Not exactly the same thing, but when making soaps etc we learnt that some plant oils had to be added in after the heating process as it destroys their properties, so I would think it could be the same for other plant extracts.
