I used it for dd1 when she was 19 months old as she had mouth ulcers and they were keeping her awake but being distressed all night was making them worse. Two doses and they were gone.

Dd2 just had a week of doses at almost 6. She broke her arm and had extreme tingling in her fingers. After 10 nights of NO sleep it was either that or a mental home for us all!

But even tho I am an RN and could have just got it over the counter I went to a GP to talk it through and make sure I was making the right choice.

BOTH time the dr gave a smaller dose than the bottle! BOTH times I have slept in the room with the sedated child JIC.

I find Zertec works well enough as an anti histamine.

A GP once admitted to me that he gave BOTH his DSs it every night of their first year of life to make sure they slept thru! The boys were thick as and I never used him as a GP again!!!!
