Definitely easy to get him to sleep last night (but that's normal 50% of the time). </p> <p>I'm going to try to up my bathwater to lettuce ratio and see what happens (throw in a whole darn head!). Maybe also run it in some really hot water first, wait for it to cool, then give the bath... it is definitely a fun experiment, and the tortoises didn't mind that the lettuce had a little extra pre-wash! </p> <p>My husband looked at me like I was crazy and asked me about the science behind it... so I told him to shut his pie hole or take over the night wake-ups ;) It will give him a fun "my wife is nuts" story to tell the girls at his work today- what can I say, I live to entertain him! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lettuce-bath#post-698694 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 10:04:26 +0000 Rescuemom10 698694@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sloaneandpuffy: This made me giggle. Tehehe "Baby soup" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lettuce-bath#post-698630 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 09:42:29 +0000 mamimami 698630@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>To be fair, she did fall asleep quite quickly after this bath, so if your problem is getting the baby to sleep, this might be good. I'll let you know if the boiling helps with anything. What I need is for her to STAY asleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lettuce-bath#post-698580 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 09:31:04 +0000 cascademom 698580@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've never heard of this. I just added a new sleep association for our LO by rubbing him with Johnson &amp; Johnson lavender bedtime lotion to help him sleep. We did it after his bath on Saturday to success. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lettuce-bath#post-698530 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 09:17:00 +0000 bunnylove08 698530@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>please tell me how this went...I need DD to sleep more than she does now </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lettuce-bath#post-698448 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 08:55:29 +0000 reyorra 698448@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sloaneandpuffy: Baby soup! Hilarious! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lettuce-bath#post-698346 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 07:59:12 +0000 looch 698346@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What is the active ingredient in lettuce that helps with sleep? I've seriously never heard of this and am wondering if it's not already available by another name? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lettuce-bath#post-698345 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 07:57:11 +0000 mamimami 698345@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I googled this, some people said they boiled the lettuce first, then mixed in cold water and used that as the bath water. So maybe I am doing it wrong. I am going to try boiling first. Baby soup! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lettuce-bath#post-698261 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 06:42:15 +0000 matador84 698261@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>this is crazy i've never heard of this! dying to know if it worked! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lettuce-bath#post-698260 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 06:42:00 +0000 Happygal 698260@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Shoot! I read this with such hope you were going to say it was a miracle cure. I was looking forward to having some strange, but awesome, tips to share with friends. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lettuce-bath#post-698231 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 06:12:47 +0000 honeybear 698231@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love it! My 2yo sleeps fine, but I think the floating leaves look like good bath time fun! ;) It totally reminds me of the manatee tanks at the zoo. :) </p> <p>In all seriousness, I would totally try this with a second baby. Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lettuce-bath#post-698219 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 05:53:28 +0000 mamimami 698219@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So, I don't really think it worked. No problem getting to sleep but the same 1001 wake ups as usual. I'm going to try again though. There has to be something there. I'm not giving up!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lettuce-bath#post-698157 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 00:29:47 +0000 Dapple Grey 698157@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've heard something similar except it consists of eating it, and specifically iceberg lettuce! But that bath looks awesome! ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lettuce-bath#post-698155 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 00:24:33 +0000 Raindrop 698155@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Very interesting!

I have 2 tortoises that I feed the romaine to at night anyway, so it just had one more stop on the way to their mouths ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lettuce-bath#post-698108 Sun, 07 Apr 2013 22:51:28 +0000 deerylou 698108@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha, I love the floating romaine. Wishing you luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lettuce-bath#post-698095 Sun, 07 Apr 2013 22:31:38 +0000 mamimami 698095@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha I'm not certain about the ratio @lemondrop. We use a Puj s we stuck about four leaves in there. You look like you have more space/water so I say a few more. Check in tomorrow! Hope is a beautiful thing :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lettuce-bath#post-698082 Sun, 07 Apr 2013 22:17:38 +0000 lemondrop 698082@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How many? I'm definitely willing to give it a shot! Good luck!</p> <p>Seriously, a full night in my own bed would be amazing...</p> <p>[attach=1790/13/mkx2q9.600x338.IMG_20130407_202140_334.jpg] </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lettuce-bath#post-698080 Sun, 07 Apr 2013 22:16:32 +0000 immabeetoo 698080@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Whatttt!

But can't hurt to try, right?<br /> I love old wives tales remedies!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lettuce-bath#post-698069 Sun, 07 Apr 2013 22:08:24 +0000 mamimami 698069@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm trying this tonight... Can't hurt, right? For months (years?) I have been hearing (from Mexicans) that to get a baby to sleep well, put some romaine lettuce leaves in the bath. Even the pediatrician suggested it. Here goes nothing!</p> <p>Has anyone else heard of this or tried it? </p>
