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

  • I've been using it in my son's bath for a few months and not sure how much it works but it definitely relaxes him. He soaks in the bath with salts for about 20 minutes. I've tried not putting the Epsom salts in and not noticed a lot of difference. I think maybe the body needs to build up the minerals before it has any effect therefore the odd bath without salts will still have good effects if that makes sense.
