well FALLING asleep isnt the problem...its staying asleep...this is just hypothetical...i would never drug my kids...i was thinking along the lines of something all natural...like if a root or plant of some sort were discovered and was proven to help young kids sleep through the night

First because you need your child to learn to sleep on his/her own without an AID. They need to learn these biological cues. Second because usually sleep aids and supress breathing just a little which has been linked to SIDS. As a woman, after being in labor for DAYS(every woman in my family has been in labor 20+ hrs) I'd be DAMMED if my kid died bc I didnt want to stay up an hour or two!!! lol
What I found helps with my nephew is if you take him out on lonnnnnggg walks outside or drives.

Yes it is wrong because infants and children need to learn to fall asleep on their own without being drugged. If they do not learn to do so it will set them up for years of sleeping problems. Isn't there enough problems with drugs in the world already without drugging an infant to sleep?
And for the last person that answered that she wondered if the others had kids: Yes, I have a child and the only time he gets anything is when he is sick with a bad cold and it is night-time cough medicine. Children have enough people trying to push drugs on them, natural or otherwise.

You mean drugging your child to go to sleep? Honestly, there are better ways! Good grief.
You have no idea what it could do to them in the long run either. I read a story about a dad who gave benadryl to his kid for a plane ride to calm him down..it made the kid hyper instead. Serves him right.
The best way to help your child fall asleep is a nice bath before, a story....to sleep through the night...wear them out! Play play play play!
Edit: something natural is still drugs. Where do you think opium and weed come from?
And yes I have a child. A 6 year old.
The best way honestly is to wear your kid out.
