A couple of weeks ago, I had a visit from my lovely friend Kaity. Now while time spent with her is always wonderful, this specific day she brought a little magic. Magic in the form of this massage oil:

While it’s called a Mama Massage Oil, it also claims to be safe to use on kids 6 months and up. Based on my research, lavender and rose oil are quite safe and commonly used for small children, so I decided to try it on my vibrant 4-year-old.

I’ve complained many times about my son being a terrible sleeper from 3 months. Now even though most nights he sleeps through the night (usually 10 hours of glorious silence hahaha), he still has a hard time settling down at. He no longer naps in the afternoon (because, why make it easy for mommy?) so he just goes to bed early. But it still takes him forever to settle down, and he will talk and ask questions and toss and turn sometimes for as long as 30 minutes – 1 hour before finally falling asleep. When I asked him why he takes so long to fall asleep, he replied, “mommy, sometimes my brain just won’t stop!”

Anyway, I decided, eh why not try this oil and see if it helps. AND BY GOLLY GEORGE DID IT. In 15 minutes he was knocked out! He was quietly lying in bed, and after a bit of settling, just like that, he was asleep.

Of course at first I thought it was a coincidence. So I used it again the next night, and the night after, and after a week of nightly application all over his chest and tummy, I think I can confidently say that we have our sleep miracle!!

If you wanna try it out for yourself, a bottle is only P235.00 and you can check out http://www.ritual.ph for your own purchase! This is not a sponsored post, I promise! I’m just really passionate about sleep, and I hope this helps you as well 🙂
