I really like MSN health and fitness and they have some pretty good articles. I was intrigued by this one on this otherwise very crappy day. I read on nodding in agreement along the way until I realized the article was over and I felt like they told me a bunch of stuff I already know. Now could someone please tell me what exactly to do when your child can’t sleep? Getting her addicted to Benadryl is not really my parenting style. What to do when you put them to bed at 8 and at midnight they are still singing the Dora themesong or doing acrobats from the top bunk to the bottom bunk. Yeah, some advice along those lines would be lovely.
Anyone?
P.S. I got a comment on my last post from Bossy. She’s like a blogelebrity if ya didn’t know. MM hmm. It’s the coolest thing to happen to me all day week.

I occasionally give my youngest (hard-to-unwind-and-get-to-sleep) kid, melatonin. It’s a non-addictive herbal supplement that you can use every so often. Works really well with him. I also think flaxseed oil and Omega 3 fish oils are really good to help strengthen their nervous system and sleep better. I’m not a naturopath or anything though and I don’t play one on TV. :O)
