Rescue Remedy-Sleep

[Livinthedream]

After a series of escalating night time wake ups (8 between 12am and 5 am this morning)
I went a purchased some Bach rescue remedy -sleep. The lady at the health food shop said that it is safe as houses and there would be no probs using it on my 4 month old.
What do you think?
FWIW we now think it is teething, went to docs today and bubs in now sound asleep with panadol in his tum, but am thinking there still may be times when a "sleeping potion" could be handy......

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.
