  • jaw dropWhy would you even consider giving your child something like that without discussing it with their doctor? Although, melatonin is naturally produced in the body, it can cause some crazy dreams/nightmares in young children. Please talk with your child's doctor about appropriate ways for your child to get better sleep.

  • NEVER dope your kid up for sleep! Especially not that young! These things can slow their breathing down so much that they STOP. WHY RISK IT????
