Alright I was surfing the web trying to find some activities to do with my kids this weekend and saw a link that said "recipes that make your kids feel sleepy" so of course I had to check these miracle recipes out and I figured I would share them with everyone else that might need an early night. Read more The website is http://wondertime.go.com/life-at-home/ I'll just copy what they have for a description. "Got to get the kids to sleep before Desperate Housewives? Try treats with tryptophan. This amino acid spurs the body to make serotonin, which slows nerve activity and encourages drowsiness. Milk, yogurt, soy, figs, bananas, and famously, turkey are all sources. Supersize the effect with carbohydrate - carbs stimulate insulin production which sweeps away other amino acids, leaving tryptophan to do its sleepy thing." See less

What a cool idea. I'm going to use this along with some sleepy time books (and a contest for some Johnson's baby sleepy time bath products) on my blogs. Thanks!
