Hon, I'm on my phone so can't see her age but if I read right, she's just short of 6 months, yes? The Wonder Week 20 (so around 5 months) is an absolute doozy (DD was a nightmare for about 5 weeks!) and it wouldn't surprise me at all if that's what's she's going through at the moment This too shall pass!!
As for Brauers, I think it would be worth a shot but all kids are different and react differently to medications including natural and homeopathic stuff. Brauers never worked on our DD but many of my friends had success with it. It certainly can't hurt to try it - you all need a good break!
If she's just cut her bottom teeth then there is a good chance her top ones are on the way too. DD did so well with her first two teeth then every tooth after that was hell. Children's Nurofen quickly became our friend, it was the only thing that would settle her. Your DD could very well be in pain, something else to consider. I know some mums don't like to medicate their children but my personal opinion is I don't like pain and take medication to ease my pain when required so why would I deprive my child of that if there is a good chance she's in pain? I'm not out to offend or judge anyone choices but not medicating a child when in pain just doesn't sit well with me. You'll quickly know if pain is the issue if she settles after some meds.
Good luck with the chiro too - they are amazing! We took DD when she was around 10 weeks for her reflux but she also had massive neck issues due to being a vacuum delivery. The difference after one session was incredible!
Could she still be going through that wonder week? She's 26 weeks today, so I thought that would have passed long ago and this was something else. Although I just jumped back onto the site for a look, and there's one at 26 weeks too!! I thought there wasn't another for quite a while yet! So yeah, that's probably playing a big part - we moved, she got teeth and had a wonder week all at once
I'm a little hesitant with nurofen or panadol, seeing as she shows no signs of pain or anything during the day. It's only her night sleep that's suffering. We've got some really good teething gel for her so we're using that when she needs it, and if things get worse or the chiro doesn't help we'll try the Brauers I reckon. I've definitely heard a lot of good things about this guy we're seeing though, so I'm hopeful it will help!
DT, we've tried three different dummies, and she still doesn't get it lol. She reckons they're chew toys, and just won't suck on them. I've tried popping it in straight after feeding, when she's all happy and relaxed, when she's almost asleep, but she seems to be the only baby I know who really doesn't like a dummy!
This too shall pass!!
