Can i give melatonin to an adhd 3 year old?

Talk to your doctor: It's so good you asked. Don't give anything to your 3 year old without consulting your doctor. Having a child with adhd is exhausting, but you need to adhere strictly to doctors orders. You might need more support for yourself. It would be totally normal if you were feeling overwhelmed. Talk to your doctor about it if you are. Best wishes to you and your 3 year old.
