[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 294298, member: 1233"] Every doctor we have seen has recommended it for us. It makes it easier to fall asleep, and we don't wake as easily in the night. But Wiz and I DO wake up in the night. husband, Jess and thank you do not wake in the night. None of us is groggy the next day. I have a product I buy through a company called Vitamin World. Here they are online and have their own shops in malls. We LOVE Calm Tabs! They can be taken as pills or dissolved into a tea. They help calm the mind when it just won't stop running in circles. We use 3-4 tabs for night time sleep and 1 tab for daytime when we are spinning our wheels like Wiley Coyote. The Calm Tabs contain Valerian Root, Passiflora Flower, Celery Seed, Catnip Leaf, Hops Flower,and Dried Orange Peel. They can provide a standardized and premeasured amount of these things for tea. As a tea I find it to be disgusting, but as tablets they are great. I also use Tension Tamer Tea by Celestial Seasonings. I don't know if you have that brand available or not. All of us like it. When thank you was an infant we would give him an evening bottle of formula (I nursed him but always wanted him to take a bottle because if he didn't and something happened to me it would be very traumatic). When colic hit I spoke with an herbalist I trusted and she said that catnip tea would help. We had already tried the anti-gas drops, benadryl, and even that hideous paregoric with no success. The pediatrician said that catnip tea would not hurt him, so we tried it. Instead of 4 oz water we used 2 oz water and 2 oz catnip tea (steeped for 5 mins). It was like we found the "OFF" switch! Another online forum I visit suggests Tazo Tea in Calm (chammomile, rose petals and other herbs) for help with sleeping and even with that daytime "frazzled" feeling. It is available at Starbucks here (by the cup) and in grocery stores by the box. I have found Calm Tabs and tension Tamer tea to be more helpful than melatonin for me but not for the kids. Those might be things that help. [/QUOTE]
