My DS 16 months usually wakes up at least once a night - usually a quick cuddle and a resettle works - if not, a dummy. But I'd say at least twice a week he cries uncontrollably and won't settle, doesn't want a cuddle, doesn't want a dummy.
On these occasions I usually administer one spoon (5 mls) of Medised which quietens him, and sends him off to sleep till morning. I justify it that if his teeth are hurting/he is snotty than I am treating that complaint but what if I am "drugging" him unecesarily? I don't want him to get used to being medicated to sleep.....
Does anyone else use medised/Calpol regularly? Am I being a bit heavy handed with it?
