Hello, fellow herbalists! I have been trying to help my precious daughter in law find a solution to my grandson’s (hyper?) startle reflex. He just turned 5 months old yesterday, and immediately cries when he hears loud noises or voices, jerks his arms during sleep and wakes crying (every 30 minutes or so ALL night!), and he and mommy are really struggling. She has faithfully tried catnip for herself since he is nursing, and also given him a little cooled catnip tea recently. She and I have tried everything we can safely think of for this little boy. I am pondering whether California Poppy could help him, and if it’s safe for him? What are your thoughts/experience with this herb or issue? Thank you SO much!

I’m so sorry Wendy. That is hard. Maybe you could try chamomile and lemon balm for mom and baby? It sounds like the nerve sheaths in the baby might be insufficiently formed, so your dil should make sure her diet is excellent and has all the nutrients that can pass through her breastmilk to the baby. Best wishes for healing and sleep!
