Is your baby a restless sleeper?

Incorporating magnesium salts and spray into their wind-down routine may help! 🤞🏻😴

Magnesium is an essential mineral in the body that plays a role in nerve and muscle function, bone development, immune health, heart rhythm regulation, blood sugar stability, and metabolism. It acts as a natural muscle relaxant, which can reduce muscle tension and promote physical relaxation 💆🏻‍♀️

Studies also suggest that magnesium promotes relaxation and improves sleep by influencing neurotransmitters that ⬇️ cortisol (the stress hormone) and ⬆️ melatonin (the sleepy hormone) levels. This can lead to more restful sleep with fewer sleep disturbances 🤯. Higher magnesium levels are also associated with better sleep quality, longer sleep duration, and reduced daytime fatigue 👏🏻

In addition to maintaining a well-balanced diet 🍳, we recommend incorporating magnesium spray or bath salts into your baby’s wind-down routine to promote relaxation and induce sleepiness 😴. You can add magnesium bath salts to your baby’s bath before bedtime or apply magnesium spray to massage their feet, lower legs, back, and stomach before dressing them for bed 🥰
