Honey-the Miracle Drug

I read this kooky thing about honey, that if you take a 1 teaspoon to 1 tablespoon before bed it can help you sleep better. It's supposed to help kids too and Baby Girl has never been a good sleeper. She usually wakes up at least once at night and won't go back to sleep until I nurse her. She is also usually an early riser (5am, even when it's still dark out). Baby Girl is old enough for honey and I'm desperate for her to sleep better at night I decided to try it.

I have given Baby Girl about 1/2-3/4 t. of honey before bed for the last 3 nights and SHAZAAM! Sleeping all the way through the night and sleeping until 7am!!!!!!!!!! She has "stirred" a bit and make a couple of noises in the middle of the night but she quickly goes back to sleep and I don't have get out of bed and nurse her! As I type this it's 7:15am and she IS STILL ASLEEP!!!

I have tried EVERYTHING to get that kid to sleep better at night and nothing has seemed to make a difference except the honey. It's only been 3 nights but she has NEVER slept through the night for 3 nights in a row and NEVER slept past 6am. I guess sometimes kooky ideas work. If this keeps up I just may actually get some real rest for the first time since she's been born and start feel human again in a couple of weeks, okay maybe a couple of months...............

I'll let you all know if it doesn't continue to work as well. If you have trouble sleeping I recommend trying it!!!
