Butter before going to bed? Experts say the following about this sleep trend for infants and toddlers (exclusive)

Regardless of whether you are an initial parent or an experienced veteran who brings a new baby home, one thing in your head: sleep.

Parents everywhere always stick to tips and tricks that help their little ones sleep well. A new social media trend claims to do exactly what indicates that parents give their baby a small amount of organic or grass butter before going to bed. A number of mothers and fathers praise the idea, but what is the basis?

Dr. Rebecca Greenberg Carter from the University of Maryland's medical system tells people that there is a nutritional basis, but it has lost the context as part of the online amount.

“First and foremost, especially, healthy Fats are only encouraged after the introduction of solid foods in pediatric diets. I would not recommend this as an introduction of food before starting other solids – which is generally between 4 and 6 months, “she says.

Dr. Carter also notes that “more fat milk production is connected to feel full and sleeping better, but it can be dangerous to jump on this solution without exploring other reasons why your baby or toddler may have difficulty sleeping through the night.”

“The most important thing would be to tackle these problems and follow with their pediatrician,” she adds.

Brittany Sheehan, a pediatric sleep consultant and founder of Brittany Sheehan Sleep, agrees and tells the people: “A child who fights too sleeping will not be magical to become a big sleeper because they get butter – or an” okay to wake up “or magnesium that is rubbed on the butter, or lavender spray or a workforce under the bed.”

“Similar to an ideal diet, which actually contributes to helping babies and toddlers, never a hack or trick or a shiny new product. It is much easier and less exciting – proper feeding, ideal timing and duration of sleep based on the child's age, and an consistent reaction of the parents if a child wakes up – that is!”

Dr. Carter points out that many parents probably try a “hack” before finding out science. As a result, you should know that “butter does not contain any other essential nutrients that are needed for the growth of the child. Therefore, it should not be specified in any size that would suppress the appetite of a child on breast milk or formula between the ages of 12 months.”

“Similarly, butter should not be an integral part of their diet for small children, since they can lose weight from other important nutrients that they would receive from healthy food,” she continues.

Parents should generally learn to be what “parents -hacks” as such an offer, she says.

“I would stay away from everything we call ourselves a 'hack' that affects our body and health,” says Shehan. “Really under no circumstances, a parent should feel under pressure to follow the sleep 'hacks' for babies or toddlers who are at best waste of time and energy and, in the worst case, can be incredibly dangerous.”

Both experts agree that the prioritization of all sleeping health through consistent routines and the structure of healthy habits is decisive to help their children sleep well.

“The most important thing for healthy sleep is a regular, consistent bedtime without screens before going to bed and a consistent bedtime night,” says Dr. Carter.

“The creation of healthy sleeping habits is better for your child in the long term and make sure that you will not prepare for years of difficulty in sleep in the future.”
