Help Kids Sleep in Hot Weather with a £1.50 Trick

The UK is having another heatwave with temperatures above 34C.
Hot weather is tough, especially without air conditioning. Fans and coolers can help during the day but might not be great at night. A sleep expert found a common mistake parents make during heatwaves. Many parents say their kids sleep worse in hot weather.
Kids are not sleeping enough. Most kids don't get the 9 hours of sleep they need each night.
Andrea Grace, a sleep consultant, shared a common bedtime mistake.
She said putting kids to bed too early can make it harder for them to fall asleep. If a child is not ready for sleep, their bed can become a place for wakefulness.
A later bedtime for a few nights can help. Then, bedtime can be moved earlier until the right sleep time is found.
Fraser Gowland shared tips to help parents, including a £1.50 hack.
Camomile tea can help kids sleep, but giving it to them hot during a heatwave is not a good idea.
Make camomile tea, let it cool, and make ice lollies. This can help kids cool down and sleep better.
Chamomile tea is affordable and can be used to make ice lollies. Babies can have weak chamomile tea after 6 months, but experts advise waiting until 12 months.
It might be better for kids to sleep in the coolest room in the house during extreme heat. Create a temporary bed for a few nights.
Keep kids' bedding and clothes cool. Put them in the freezer for a short time to make them cool.
Natural products like magnesium and chamomile can help kids sleep. Keep them cool and use these products for a good bedtime routine.
