A. Hi, it's true that nutmeg makes baby sleepy. If the purpose is to make baby sleep then don't use nutmeg, excessive use can harm baby's brain growth. If your baby has digestion problem the use it. For good sleep let your baby indulge in more and more physical activity and. Ake sure his stomach is full before sleeping for sound sleep.
