Let me ask briefly: baby sleep medication from pharmacy?

The real reply from the in-app AI advisor

Sleep medication for babies (even a prescription drug) should absolutely never be used without a doctor's recommendation. There's no such thing as over-the-counter sleep medication; anything obtained from a pharmacy must always be started with a pediatrician's evaluation.

If your baby's sleeplessness is worrying you, consulting your pediatrician first is the right step. Non-medication approaches (building routines, adjusting sleep environment) are usually the first step.
