Recently a client told me that when she was a fussy baby her mother was prescribed drugs by the peditrician to help her (the baby) sleep through the night. My client was relieved that as a mother she had Child-Works to turn to for help with her baby’s sleep problem. However, using drugs to help children sleep is on the rise. Many parents are unaware of the potential dangers inherent with utilizing drugs as a sleep aid.

If you are considering using drugs to help your child please don’t hesitate to discuss this with you pediatrician and/or contact Child-Works for guidance prior to administering the drug.
