Lavender spray

amydave · July 2013

Anyone use this to help toddlers sleep? Mine is an early bird at 5am. He is normally very happy so I don't think he is still tired but would love for me to get some extra zzzs! If you do use it what brand?

Thanks.

I don't use lavender spray, but I do use the Johnson and Johnson bedtime lotion, which is supposed to help babies sleep better (not sure about longer though).

When do you put your LO down for the night? Would you consider moving bedtime back? that might help, even just 30 minutes could help.

He normally goes down a 7pm. I am a working mom so I can't do earlier than that (according to Weissbluth he should be going to bed earlier!). I am trying to do a little later and the plan tonight is 7:15.

DS goes down around 8:15 and until recently slept until about 8-8:30. He has been getting up a little early, but I think it is due to the disruption in his schedule (babysitter is on vacation last week and this week) as well as teething!

The thing that has helped us most with DS is getting a blackout screen for his window (best $40 ever).

It has really helped him sleep in later. Could be worth a try if moving bedtime back doesn't work.

Where did you get the blackout screen for the window?

This is where I got it from.

Pretty in expensive, and pretty easy to install and use too.

I don't use lavender, but I might start! DD goes to bed at 8 and sleeps normally until about 5:30. I tried adding some hot cereal to her dinner (mix it with applesauce for dessert) and since then she's been sleeping until 6 or 6:30. I think she just needed a little more substance at dinner time. Maybe try a snack before bed or dinner closer to bedtime?
