Guest guest Posted August 28, 2007 Report Share Posted August 28, 2007 Does anyone know of a natural sleep remedy for my 22 mo. old DS that is SCD safe? He has an extremely hard time falling asleep but does OKAY staying asleep. We tried the SCD safe Melatonin but for some reason his GI system cannot handle it. Not sure why. Thanks, Crystal DS on diet since Aug. 1, 2007 Possibly on autism spectrum Allergic to eggs GI issues w/ orange foods, green beans Still on stage 1 Currently eating only homemade pearsauce, natural bison, organic turkey and natural hamburger.

Guest guest Posted August 29, 2007 Report Share Posted August 29, 2007 Hi, Crystal, I imagine you have tried all the usual--establish a routine, have a relaxing bath, no TV and nothing too exciting before bed, read. My sister claims that drinking Knudsen's Just Cherry juice before bed helps her fall asleep. I hope you get other answers. mom to -12 SCD 4/23/04 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 29, 2007 Report Share Posted August 29, 2007 Oh, yeah, and magnesium usually has a calming effect. Are you doing Epsom salt baths and/or giving a magnesium supplement? mom to -12 SCD 4/23/04 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 29, 2007 Report Share Posted August 29, 2007 Hi, Something that has helped us with sleep is a warm bath with adding epsom salts to the water. It is very calming. If your child doesn't like baths..kirkman's also sells a epsom salt cream as well. For the dosage start with a small amount like 1/8 and work up as tolerated. Hope this helps, mary scd for 3 yrs. for ibs mom to teresa and martha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 30, 2007 Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 We use a white noise machine….it works like a charm for my daughter. For my son, it works to keep him asleep, but put him asleep. We got this from another mom We bought ours from Amazon.com because I find the reviews helpful.
