Eight roots magnesium lotion for baby
Hello doctors ,
My baby is 9 th month old and he is 9.5 kg . He is eating well playing well . But he is not sleeping for longer strech. In day time he will take nap for max 1hr 2 3 times and in night he is waking in every 2 hour despite of eating solids having formula milk and Bm he is not sleeping in longer stretches. We have consulted his pediatrician he told his growth is excellent and told to give iron rich food to improve sleep. I am giving him egg, liver , masoor dal , moong daal, drumstick for iron but Still his sleep is disturbed.
Today my friend told about magnesium lotion from eight roots brand for baby to improve sleep. Can I used it for baby ? Please suggest.

Greetings
topical magnesium for infant sleep is extremely limited, and there is no strong evidence that these lotions significantly improve sleep quality. While generally considered safe for external use on babies over 6 months, magnesium is poorly absorbed through the skin and is unlikely to raise blood levels enough to affect sleep patterns. The perceived benefits often come from the calming bedtime massage itself rather than the mineral
