BetterYou Magnesium Sleep Body Lotion - Relaxing Kids Body Lotion - Magnesium Cream WIth Lavender And Chamomile - For Children One And Up - 4.56 oz

Our kiddo has issues winding down for sleep at night and this lotion really helps! The lotion is a little runny compared to normal lotion but he reads 30 minutes before bed so he just applies it before he starts and it is all soaked in by the time he is finished reading. We are on our third bottle and he still says he truly sleeps better with it. Highly recommend!

Works great for my little restless toddler he enjoys it on his feet and legs after baths. It helps if at least calm down and seems to sleep calmer in my opinion he is a go go toddler all the time and this helps him

Update: It may have just taken a few days because it seems to maybe be working better now. He still gets riled before bed but less tossing and turning. It seems like he’s falling asleep faster because he’s also waking up on time and in a happy mood (we usually have to wake him for daycare). He definitely needs 4-5 pumps. I will probably keep trying it for awhile.I don’t think this works for our 3 year old son unfortunately. Despite having a bedtime routine for years, he gets super riled up as soon as it’s time to turn the lights off and then once finally calm, takes an hour to fall asleep many nights. This hasn’t seemed to make much or any of a difference. It has a nice light smell but I don’t think it’s potent enough for him. That or Magnesium just doesn’t work for him.

I ordered this for my 1 1/2 year old with hopes that it would help her sleep better through the night. While it smells nice and is easy to apply, I noticed absolutely no change in her sleep at all. The bottle is rather small and doesn't last very long. Overall, it's a decent lotion as it absorbs well and smells good, but if you are looking for a solution to sleepless nights, I wouldn't recommend it.

I don't want to make broad generalizations about what might be true for all users of this product, however, I would like to provide my sincere support for this sleep lotion as a foster parent of a child that has some very unhealthy experiences with sleep. What you or I call normal is not normal for individuals that grow up in the foster system, and, for better or worse, cannot be reasonably expected to be. What you will find with any child in foster care is that many have experienced trauma throughout their lives and interrupted and unrestful sleep is natural consequence of this reality.My foster child has historically been very anxious and shows symptoms of separation anxiety that make putting them down difficult resulting in the foster child screaming and crying for 30 minutes to an hour until they finally tire out and fall asleep. With this lotion, I was able to see the effects and their body and mind slow down within 15 minutes and by 45 minutes I was able to put them down without issue.I, personally, have taken magnesium supplements before bed for years and have used it during times to manage stressful situations. Whether this product will work for all children equally, but I can testify that in a difficult circumstance, this product worked for my family.

Love this lotion! I was skeptical, but it has truly helped my little one sleep. He's 16 months old and has always been a decent sleeper, but I can always tell the nights his legs hurt because he's so so restless. Its also almost always taken us half an hour or more of rocking and nursing for him to fall asleep. After using the lotion, he falls asleep within 15 minutes and sleeps a great first stretch, typically only waking once or twice throughout the whole night. It smells good and isn't greasy. I'll definitely be keeping this in the house at all times!

This lotion works great for my 2 year old, especially on those nights he is fighting sleep for hours! Apply like the instructions say and in 30 min he was out like a light!

My LO has never been a great sleeper. I was excited for this product because it's especially for kids. The issue is you have to use FOUR pumps and that's a TON of lotion to have to apply. It's so much that my LO turns white like sunscreen that's not rubbed in. Thats my biggest issue as it makes it a hassle trying to get the right amount on her and making sure it's rubbed in. I'm not sure if its the product or if its due to the amount I have to use but doesn't seem to help much. I had such high hopes 😭
