The 7pm problem
Melatonin that works for a fortnight and then stops. Magnesium gummies that get spat out, or turn into a nightly negotiation. A bedtime routine that starts at seven and is still going at nine.
Sweet Sleep is not something your child has to swallow or taste. It goes on their feet while they lie there, and most parents tell us it becomes the calmest part of the evening.
Does your child
Why it works
Most of us do not get enough magnesium, and children are no exception. Taken by mouth it has to survive the digestive system first, which is where a lot of it is lost and where the tummy aches come from. Applied to the skin it goes straight in.
Topical magnesium absorbs directly into the bloodstream and bypasses the digestive system entirely.
The stomach upset that oral magnesium is known for simply is not part of it. Nothing is swallowed.
A few minutes of foot massage before lights out. For a lot of families that becomes the signal that the day is over.
How to use it
Children need far less than an adult. A pea-sized amount per child is plenty, warmed briefly between your fingers.
Take your time over it. The massage is doing as much work as the magnesium.
Around 20 minutes before you want them asleep. It absorbs as they settle, and keeps working once they are off.
Safe for children from six months. If your child has a skin condition or is taking regular medication, check with your doctor first.

How oftenFrom parents
I have a one year old who has literally never slept through the night. I am a total skeptic, I am not a person who believes in remedies and alternative treatments, but my opinion has been totally changed. For the last three nights he has slept for 11 to 12 hours with no night waking.
Kat D., Waltham Forest, UK
My daughter is 9 and has never slept through the night, we have tried so many things over the years. This balm is magical, it smells good, she likes it and we have had 6 nights out of 7 where she has slept through. Thank you thank you thank you.
Caterina, Pershore, UK
My 14 year old always struggles with falling asleep at an appropriate time to wake up the next day at 6:40 am for high school. He takes melatonin a good amount which I did not love. Happy to report that it works and he uses it.

Where it came from
Hollie made the first batch of Sweet Sleep for her own 18 month old son.
He was not sleeping, she was not sleeping, and she had read enough about magnesium to want to try it on skin rather than in a spoon. What started in her kitchen is now made by hand in small batches in St. Louis, MO, USA, and has become the product this business is known for.
It is still the same idea. Put the magnesium where the body can absorb it, keep the ingredient list short, and let the bedtime massage do the rest.
What is in it
No parabens, no SLS, no synthetic fragrance. The fragrance free version leaves out the lavender oil entirely.
Questions
Yes, Sweet Sleep is safe for children from six months and up. Use a pea sized amount massaged gently onto each foot. If your child has a skin condition or takes regular medication, check with your doctor first.
A pea sized amount per child, on the soles of both feet only. An adult uses a grape sized amount, which carries around 350mg of magnesium, so children are getting considerably less.
Most people notice a difference within a few nights. Magnesium levels build up with consistent use, so give it a couple of weeks of nightly application before you judge it.
The soles absorb readily, it keeps the butter away from hands and faces, and a foot massage is an easy thing to add to a bedtime routine without a fight.
Applied 20 minutes before bed it absorbs well before they settle, so it does not reach the bedding. If your child is straight under the covers, a pair of socks takes care of it.
Both work identically. The lavender is scented with pure lavender essential oil. If your child is sensitive to scent, or you would rather avoid essential oils altogether, choose fragrance free.
Yes, and most families do. Adults use a grape sized amount on feet and calves. A 120ml jar is roughly a 30 day supply for one adult, so a family sharing will get through it faster.
