It is really good but I don't think you can gt it anymore. You used to be able to buy it over the counter, then about 6 months ago you needed a prescription, then I was told you couldn't get it at all. It is really strong, as in it makes them really sleep almost immediately. I used to give DD less than half of the recommended dosage for her age and weight (and I think what they recommended was only about 5ml).

If you are at the docs maybe just ask for a prescription for it and see. I used to get it from the Amcal on Wanneroo Road in Tuart Hill, opposite the Mighty Quinn pub.

I use it with DS and find it is the only thing that works for him after trying all the natural remedies, the panadol/nurofen and pulling my hair out!! You need a script for bubs under two but it is worth it. It contains panadol and an antihistamine that just helps to settle them, I do not find it knocks out DS just calms him. If you find bubs is sleepy the next day maybe cut down the dose?

Definitly worth trying if all other avenues have been exhausted. The Amcal in Tuart Hill on Waneroo Road is where I get it from and they are very informative.
