Anyone tried this? I was always reluctant to try these as they contain alcohol but I'm getting desperate!
DS is being a nightmare again with his night sleeping. Took him to Dr this morning for a checkup - all fine but he wakes and cries inconsolably 4-5x a night. He is getting his molars but I gave him both pamol and ibuprofen last night and he still cried so I don't think it is pain as that would have sorted it. -------------

I've used it for my children from time to time.
It is perfectly safe as the alcohol is boiled off. The effect is not dramatic, just helps to calm them down and relax them. Good luck! ------------- Mel, Mummy to E: 6, B: 4 and:

Mrs B I've used RR on Clodagh occasionally since she was a newborn...its perfectly safe just don't give the adult dose. I think I gave 1 drop when she was really little and REALLy upset and couldn;t be settled any other way. It was quite good. I took it too lol which was even better  -------------   http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">

If you are worried about the alcohol you can buy RR pastilles - give him half a pastille as a "lolly" before bedtime. No alcohol that way. In saying that, I use normall RR in the spray bottle for my girl, it works wonders for feral days. ------------- http://www.babysfirstsite.com">

I have used weleda teething powder on a few occasions - presume it the camomile that works a treat - even on my 2 year old Maybe a massage or a cuddle to music before bed if you dont already do this ------------- http://lilypie.com]

It does come in a balm, gel and other forms- I saw them for sale at the hospital pharmacist recently. ------------- http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">  http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">

hi yes RR is great - been using since newborn you can put a drop on their fontenelle, I have started using "kids calm" from the health store because it has no alcohol. ------------- Amber ~30~ Auckland ~baby girl born 24/03/10 |

I can say I've used the RR since Brooke was quite young. 2-3 drops in her bottle. There is also another version of RR called RR Sleep. I like this one better. (I just about drink it from the bottle when I'm flying!) ------------- http://lilypie.com">
