Hello,
No medicine is required for baby to sleep.
Please don't give anything.
Only thing baby requires is milk as per need.
Take care.

Please don't use Google and self medicate your babies. No medicines are needed for sleep. If you try to use medicine for sleep, not only does feeding reduce but also weight. This has more serious consequences. Not only that at this age, it is not possible to tell of baby is sleeping or drowsy due to the medication dose
