Most baby sleep syrups are not recommended for babies due to their active ingredients and can carry serious risks. The most common risks include:
- Respiratory depression (slowed or stopped breathing)
- Allergic reactions
- Dependence and tolerance development (needing higher doses over time for the same effect)
- Daytime drowsiness, feeding problems
- Unknown long-term effects on brain development
In babies, sleep irregularities are usually a normal part of development and don't require medication unless there's an underlying medical issue.
Never use any sleep syrup (including over-the-counter herbal ones) that your pediatrician hasn't prescribed. If sleep problems persist, talk to your doctor.
