If the baby is very excitable, nervous, screams for any reason, it is difficult to put him to sleep, he often gets up at night, then mothers and fathers are ready to do almost anything just to calm their beloved child.

It is a known fact that in order to reduce nervousness, you should limit the time spent in front of the TV screen and outdoor games, try to eliminate all sorts of irritants - arguing with the baby, swearing in front of him, especially swearing with him, loud music.

And there is also another wonderful way out of this situation - soothing tea for kids. They are very easy to make at home - this method is ideal for parents who do not trust store-bought drinks. Or buy them at a pharmacy or store.

The finished drink is now sold in bags, so when you get home, you just need to boil water and fill the bag with water. This is also suitable for those who want to save time.

IN industrial production There is nothing dangerous, you just need to carefully read the composition. Do not buy tea for children (especially for a child under 6 years old) that contains flavoring and coloring.

It is also very important to make sure that no component of the drink causes an allergic reaction in your baby. Because soothing teas are herbs in unequal parts.

At what age can children be given this tea?

The question is when can you safely give your baby a soothing decoction? Children show anxiety from the very first months and have a very difficult time falling asleep. Special teas have been made for very young children (from the first days to 1 year).

Soothing tea for a baby (up to one month) includes chamomile, linden, and lemon balm. It is absolutely safe for children from 2 months.

Chamomile tea is perfect for children aged 4 months and older. It is soothing, but also helps relieve the baby from colic. A linden-based decoction for toddlers up to 1 year of age is also widely used.

He not only improves nervous system, but also helps during colds, when you need to bring down the temperature. Perfect for children aged 2-3 years Mint tea. But you need to be careful.

Mint contains a huge number of essential oils, so your baby should be given mint tea from the age of 1 year. A decoction of thyme and oregano is suitable for children over 1 year of age. Valerian is contraindicated in children under 3 years of age.

You can make it very simple - a decoction of one component.

• Chamomile is great for this. Two spoons in a glass of boiling water is enough (or 1 pharmaceutical sachet). The smallest toddler can drink this decoction, but start with a teaspoon.

Chamomile relaxes muscles, has a beneficial effect on the child’s nerve cells, and also has an antimicrobial effect. Chamomile deserves to take pride of place in the medicine cabinet.

• A drink made from fennel (from its seeds) helps to calm and eliminate feelings of fear. It can be prepared either on its own or with other herbs. Fennel tea useful not only for newborns (babies from one month, one year), but also for mothers during breastfeeding.

It helps newborns get rid of unpleasant colic in the intestines. Herbs in various combinations form a multi-component drink.

• Even the ancient Greeks knew that valerian is a plant that can enhance brain function and give peace of mind. And in our time, valerian is an honorable sedative. It is also used as a soothing decoction for children (but only for those over 3 years old).

For example, lemon balm and valerian in equal proportions (a tablespoon) are poured with boiling water - the infusion is ready! This infusion should be taken for a little more than a month, since only a course of valerian helps calm the nerves.

• Combining mint, chamomile and lemon balm (it is always used only in combination with some kind of herb), you get a wonderful soothing drink for the baby!

Each herb needs only 50 grams, add 200 ml of water, bring to a boil and leave to infuse for 20 minutes.

When buying store-bought tea, you will see, in principle, the same herbs in slightly different proportions and combinations. Often include string and rose hips.

Often these teas are produced according to the age of the child: for newborns, from 3 months, six months, from 2-3 years and beyond, which makes choosing such a drink for your child much easier.

Drink any soothing teas either in a course per month or once.

Drinks from the pharmacy

If the baby were not capricious so often, mothers would do without any sedatives. But it also happens that something bothers the child, and walking in the air, proper nutrition Does not help.

The doctor will be able to identify the cause of the baby's anxiety. And very often the doctor prescribes a sedative drink for the child, which is sold in pharmacies.

IN pharmaceutical teas There are no tea leaves familiar to us for children; they contain specially arranged and correctly selected medicinal herbs.

Of course, it is necessary to use such herbs (especially for children under one year old) only after visiting a doctor. It is also necessary to remember the fact that any medicinal herb can cause an allergic reaction.

The pharmacy has good tea for children, which includes rose hips, licorice, birch leaves, lavender, and mint with motherwort. This tea is very effective: it improves sleep, mood, the child stops being capricious and becomes less irritable.

Remember that for babies you need to choose tea according to the age of the baby: for newborns, from 1 year or from 3 years and older.

Good day to all!

Evening Tale tea helped us a lot during the period when it was decided to wean the child from frequent feedings at night and teach him to fall asleep on his own. Everything is in order.

It all started at 6 months. It's like the child was replaced. My daughter always slept well, with rare exceptions, when the baby began to wake up for several night feedings, crying loudly.

At first we blamed it on our tummy, our teeth, and then came up with many other reasons. Meanwhile By the age of 7 months, my daughter began to wake up every hour. At the same time, it was necessary to put her to the breast, suck for 3 seconds and then sleep. Then I realized what sleepless nights are!!! And how we laid it out!! rocked, at the chest, in general, whenever!

Let me explain : we put our daughter to bed according to Komarovsky’s advice, as it was convenient for us, i.e. at 9 they started bathing, massage, etc., in general the child fell asleep at 22. Then I came across an article that said that the child may be overtired, you need to try going to bed earlier and falling asleep on your own. And of course, share food and sleep! I immediately dismissed all methods of falling asleep on my own, such as wait and let the baby cry, come in after 4 minutes, don’t pick me up, etc. I have faster heart won't stand it)))

The first day was hard, not putting the baby to the breast all night, only when he really needs it! You will understand))) For us it is around 24 and 03 at night. This is where this tea came to our rescue!

Now we put it like this:

1. At 18:45, my husband starts pouring water into the bath, while I do a massage.

2. We swim until 19:20.

3. We eat until about 19:40 (first porridge, then GM)

4. I stay in the room with the child, put her in the crib (dim lights at this time), sing her a lullaby (5 minutes). After that, I explain that it’s time to sleep and that I’ll turn off the light soon, I shut up, let him roll around in the crib a little (about 7 minutes), then I turn off the light.

My daughter rolls around a little in the dark, starts rubbing her eyes and falls asleep at about 20:00. Only after that I cover her and leave. All this time I was sitting on a chair next to the crib.

For the first two days, to make it easier to help my daughter sleep, she gave this tea. Tea is truly the most effective of all! Believe me! We suffered so much without sleep and tried everything!

Miracle! On the third day, the child woke up only 2 times and falls asleep peacefully at night. Now we only stay awake when our teeth are REALLY bothering us, but in such cases Dantinorm helps! Of course, my daughter doesn’t sleep all night long, BUT getting up twice or every hour...!!!

The main thing is not to replace one habit (sucking at the breast) with another (rocking)! I just picked it up and hissed! During the day I put her to sleep in her arms, but without rocking!
