This World Sleep Day, let’s talk about a connection that’s often missed; gut health, toileting, and sleep being deeply linked!
🚽 Toileting struggles; Constipation, withholding, or frequent loose stools can make it harder for children to relax and settle at night.
😴 Restless sleep; Discomfort, bloating, or gut imbalances can lead to night waking, difficulty falling asleep
💡 The gut-sleep connection; The gut produces serotonin, which is needed to make melatonin, the hormone that regulates sleep. If digestion is out of sync, sleep can be too!
🌟Supporting gut health can have a huge impact on sleep and toileting, helping children feel more comfortable and confident in their own bodies.
