My son is 10 months old and sleeps very little during the day. I was told that putting jaiphal in his milk or food will help him sleep well. Any one knows about this? Also, do u know any other food that acts as a relaxant and helps babies sleep?

Madhuri replied. Jaiphal isa beetale nut like spice and very hot for body. I donot know if it helps in sleeping but it definitely helps if powdered and boiled in water and given to babied to control loose motions. Shalu replied. what is Jaiphal? Riya replied. Spicy foods make baby feel restless..high in carbo foods like rice makes baby energitic so they sleep a little. So you should give rice in the afternoon and light foods at night. Don't add much spice to your little ones diet..Having 5-6 oz of milk late night ( 2 hrs after dinner)will help the baby to sleep better.
