What Causes Sleep Problems in Children?
We all struggle to sleep sometimes and children are no exception. Sometimes sleep problems become chronic and a pattern of insomnia sets in. This can cause much frustration for children and their parents and can even result in relationship difficulties if the problem is not addressed. If you find yourself struggling to put your child to sleep night after night, then it is important to do something about it.
Here are some of the main causes of insomnia in children and babies:
Teething
Lack of routine and bedtime ritual
Childhood depression or trauma
Family problems
Intestinal worms
Diet high in sugar and stimulants like coffee and tea
How is Insomnia in Children Usually Treated?
As a parent, you will know that sleep remedies especially formulated for children are few and far between. In desperation many parents resort to using pain killers, cough medicines, antihistamines and other over-the-counter medicines. This is very bad for children and can seriously affect their health. These medicines have not been designed to use as sleep aids for children and regular use can result in addiction, nightmares and chronic insomnia.
Doctors sometimes prescribe scheduled drugs for children to help them sleep. Once again, these drugs can result in addiction and do not solve the problem in the long term. Side effects are common and children are often very drowsy in the morning.
What is Du Du?
Some children remain difficult to put to sleep, no matter what you do - especially those with stubborn sleep problems and children who tend to become agitated and restless at bedtime. There are children who become anxious around bedtime as they anticipate a struggle with tired parents and this makes them exhausted, tearful and 'difficult' to manage, yet determined not to go to sleep! To address these problems, Du Du Drops is now 100% homeopathic with proven ingredients making the formula even more effective for a wider range of childhood sleep problems.
Du Du Drops is a safe and effective homeopathic remedy specially formulated by our Clinical Psychologist to calm and relax young children and induce a state of drowsiness. Du Du Drops can safely be used by all children and babies but has been specifically formulated for toddlers and children 12 months and older (for babies under 12 months see our BabyNature Sleepy Sprinkles instead) and is gentle and non-addictive and will not sedate your child. Together with consistent discipline, a regular routine and night time ritual and a loving home environment, Du Du Drops can help to break poor and irregular sleep patterns and restore peace to your home.
How has Du Du helped other children?
"My daughter is 5 years old and has been having nightmares - she is afraid to go to sleep. I got so desperate I am ashamed to say that I even gave her a big dose of cough medicine and paracetamol to try and get some peace. (which I will never do again) Thank you for a wonderful product that has really worked. Even the nightmares have gone!"
- Jill, Pinetown
"We have struggled to get our twins to sleep ever since they were born and have always been reluctant to use anything that might harm their health. We tried Du Du on a friend's recommendation and have been very impressed from the very first day. Peace reigns in our house in the evenings once again!!!"
- Bill and Karen McGregor, Cape Town
"I am very happy to be able to recommend Du Du to any parent. It is very effective and has helped to settle my daughter at night without the usual fuss and struggle that used to go on for hours. It is great to have a natural product that works so well without causing any harm."
- Sara, Edgemead
Ingredients:
Du Du Drops contains the following natural and effective homeopathic ingredients:
Chamomilla (C6) – this is a well-known on-the-spot homeopathic remedy used for its soothing and calming properties. Not only is Chamomilla beneficial for inducing drowsiness safely in newborns, it is also effective in calming digestive upsets and colic, soothing teething babies and alleviating feelings of separation anxiety.
Cina C30 - Also homeopathically prepared, Cina works well for children who are irritable, 'touchy' and tend to have temper tantrums at bedtime and who often twitch, toss and turn in their sleep. Also beneficial for those who grind their teeth and for children with intestinal worms.
Coffea C30 - Homeopathy works on the principle of 'like treats like' and homeopathically formulated Coffea is an excellent remedy to calm the over-exited and irritable person. Children who become very sensitive, restless and 'unreasonable' at bedtime will benefit from this proven homeopathic remedy.
Pulsatilla (C6) – is an important nerve relaxant with well-known calming and soothing properties. This homeopathic ingredient is particularly beneficial for fretful, restless and anxious babies that struggle to fall asleep.
