Hello I am new to this site. I hope I can help in any way I can. Our son who is 7 years old had been on melatonin for 3 years and has done great on it. He has made his own sleep schedule and it works for us. He wakes up the same time everymorning without the problems sleep medicines cause. Melatonin is a natural chemical that the body produces and it has had no side effects for Ian. Ian falls asleep at 8:30 at night and sleeps through the night and only wakes up to potty. He wakes with very little prompting. We give Ian 5-7 mg. This is the only thing we will ever give him, it works great for him and it is flavored and chewable.
I have to brag! Omg :)
