Lol Onyx, I was going to ask if the tea was for her or me! Or maybe the smells of it will help. It says for babies 6 months to 2 years (so really I shouldn't even be trying it until the 16th) to give 1ml. It seems like such a tiny amount, that I'm thinking maybe I'd be better off with the essential oil idea in the bedroom.

Thanks for all your answers. She's been asleep now for an hour & 15 minutes (yep, longer than any stretch of sleep last night!) and so I'm feeling loads better. Should have tried napping myself, but I was too angry to sleep I've worked out all my frustrations in cleaning and feeling better.

Skybie, it does have Belladonna in it. I've googled all of the ingredients, and they're all plants. Chamomile is included in it. I think this is kind of the next step from Brauer's Calm, it's brand new. My friend works at Brauers, and after they've tested their new products they put a pile out on a 'grab table' so she's gotten a whole pile of this for free. But if the Brauer's Calm didn't do anything, I don't see why this would be so much better. Still reckon the essential oils might be better as a first step.

ZF, we have a pretty good bedtime routine that's been the same since she was tiny. Bath time at 6, then we go to the bedroom where it's quiet and dim and I read her a book then feed to sleep. I just don't know why she's waking again only an hour later! We have a thermometer in the room and she's dressed right for the temperature. Last night I checked her chest and back and she felt perfect.

We can't seem to get co-sleeping to work unless she's already super tired. She will only sleep in our bed if she has her head on my arm and is lying on her side facing me. I don't understand it, but if she lies any other way she fusses around. I put her like that and she falls straight to sleep! But then her head and my arm get sweaty, so I try gently putting her head on the mattress while she's asleep, and she starts crying. That's why she was only in bed til 4 and not longer, after 4 she wouldn't sleep at all in our bed and did then next 50 minutes in her cot.

I don't know if her teeth can still be causing problems? The first two bottom ones came through last week, but they've well and truly broken through and she's been happy during the day.

Thanks again for your answers.

ETA: She just woke up after sleeping for an hour and a half, smiled up at me from her hammock and made me just burst into tears for feeling so awful earlier Stupid sleep deprived emotions!
