    I was told they are perfectly safe. They are homoeopathic. I've had no problems with them for my DD

    Same, was told it was safe and they were the only things that settled DD down when she was teething. Better than panadol!

    Ahhhhhh that would be me! They made DD run around like a hyperactive cat on crack!!!! It would have been quite funny if I wasn't so horribly sleep deprived and desperate for her to go to bed! I can only assume it was the 'homeopathic' amount of coffee.

    I think it's hillarious that she had such a reaction to them, considering the copious amounts of coffee you and I can drink and BF!!

    chepie - whenever something is homeopathic the actual active ingredient can no longer be found in the end product (that's basically what homeopathy is).

    Yeah - and she steals the lid off my coffee cup and licks off the milk! so it's not like she's never been exposed to coffee!
