Chamomile fan

My four month old started teething recently and after being a great night sleeper before, was suddenly up at all hours and crying a lot during the day. I was resorting to 'Baby Panadol' in desperation. But for the past 48 hours, I have been drinking 5-6 cups a day of chamomile tea (using about 3 teabags, sometimes twice) and she is a completely different baby.
I am breastfeeding of course. Chamomile tea has also had quite a strong calming effect on me as an adult and I guess she's getting it through my milk. Could be coincidence but my gut feeling is it's the chamomile!
