So I have a four year old named Eli and a one year old named Abram. Eli has always been a pretty good sleeper, but lately, not so much. He has been waking up a couple times a night and coming into our room. One of us usually ends up getting up, taking him back to his bed, and laying with him until he falls back to sleep. Abram has never been a good sleeper and still ends up waking up at least once a night for no reason. I weaned him around 14 months but I think he still wakes up thinking I might decide to start feeding him again. Not gonna happen but don't worry, I am not starving him. The kid eats ALL DAY LONG!
Anyway, we decided to move them into the same room and try out some essential oils. I have used a few different combos and this seems to be the one that has worked the best for us! 2 drops of Valor, 2 drops of Peace and Calming, and 2 drops of Lavender in the diffuser on the intermittent setting throughout the night. Both slept through the entire night each time I used this mix!
Aaah....I love waking up after a FULL night sleep! Nothing better.
I am also ordering the Cedarwood Oil because I have read that it is good to rub on feet before bedtime! I can't wait to get it!
*Disclaimer: I decided to try the Valor because Eli says he is scared when he wakes up. Since Valor is supposed to help with feelings of confidence I thought I would give it a try and I am glad I did.
