Hey Cazzacan
It is so tough when they aren't having proper sleeps isn't it! Both frustrating and exhausting..
You are right in saying that panadol is not something (even it a drop) that we should give our babies regularly. It is a medication and should be used for the purpose it was manufactured for. Panadol doesn't directly make babies sleepy. But sucking does, so it's likely that her vigorously sucking is what is doing the trick. Or, if she has a little pain and the paracetamol relieves it then that may help her sleep (but by the sounds of the dosage you are giving, it isn't likely to have much of an analgesic effect)..
Great idea to look at some other techniques or more natural things to help her. And have you spoken to a GP, or you child health nurse to see if there is anything else going on that is stopping her from sleeping? Teething is such a bugger for them, but you say that "often" she has trouble sleeping so I assume it has been happening for a while..Anyway, just thought I would suggest that maybe there is another underlying reason why she won't sleep.
Hope someone can help you out with some info on those natural remedies, and that things start improving really soon![]()
