epsom salts baths to aid sleep

kittycath

Hi

Has anyone bathed their childrens in epsom salts? I have done a lot of research and discovered that if you bathe your child in the epsom salts they absorb the magnesium that cannot retain which aids sleep for ASD sleep disorders. I have used them with success but not sure how many baths a week i should give my child. I did four in a row and he slept 8-9 hours straight and last night I didnt and he was up his usual 3-4 times which is disruptive to us all. I have also heard of magnesium spray for their skin but need to research that....thoughts anyone please

    We've tried many things. My son gets off to sleep ok but wakes up to four times each night for the last ten months. Weve always had a brilliant nighttime routine which we still do four years in but nothing apart from the salts has worked. Research indicates that insufficent magnesium is retained by kids with ASD..Magnesium helps to relax us and aid sleep. Just wondered if anyone had used epsom salts at all. Thanks for the reply
