A member asked:
What is the correct dosage for a 2 and a half yr old and a 7 yr old for melatonin at night time?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sleeping habits: Rather than getting your children on drugs change their sleeping habits. Have a quiet hour before bedtime. Read to them, play soft music, give them a warm bath, but dont get them excited before bedtime. Put them to bed at the same time every evening.
