Has anybody used Brauer's Calm?

My 21 month old little boy goes down perfectly. He tells me he loves me, gives me a big cuddle and a kiss and waves me out the door.

He does NOT stay this way though; he wakes at least 3 times a night, for no apparent reason except attention.

I've resorted to using phenergan and painstop which are not reccommended for long term use or use in children under 2, so I have just been struggling along all these months.

Has anyone tried Brauer's Calm?? I picked some up today as the pharmacist sympathises with me, and says this is perfectly fine to use as long as needed as it is 100% natural, and is easily weaned off with age.

If you have used it, did it help your wakeful/restless bub? Was it hard to wean or did you oly use it on occasion?

Hey Aslee, tough isn't it? :hug: You have my total sympathy. I still get up 2-3 times a night in addition to a crappy bedtime and 4-5 trips to the loo.
I did try it out of desperation when she was smaller, but I didn't find it did much, plus the dosages have to be given exactly as they are prescribed, which is fine if you don't have anything else to think about (from memory every half hour for four doses).
I have thought about retrying it lately as the getting up in the night doesn't bother me too much, but the bedtimes are killing me, so will watch with interest....

I just read the 4 doses half an hour apart bit...but I assume that just means I start around 5:30 for a 7:30 bedtime? I think with a whack of a dose like that it would at least make him sleep through the 4 hours? Hmmm I see your point...will see how we go!

I've used it and TBH I really don't know that it did much. My DS is very very "busy" and when he was having his sleep issues at around 6-8 months we did use it. The jury is still out whether or not it worked - he eventually slept through when he was 17months old....

i hant used it in a sleep situation mayas 13 months and still wakes 8 to 10 times a night .

but she is allergic to panadol and nurfen and i found this a great alternative

I feel for you Chez, Blake can wake up that often sometimes too :(

We had an absolutely terrible night....he woke at 10:30 and screamed his head off...then slept till 2:15 and didnt go back to sleep until after 4... up again at 5:30.... I feel fantastic :(
