Zarbee's Naturals Children's Sleep 30 count

1 mg is overdose to my 3 and half year old boy, I gave him 1/4 tablet, now he didn't show any reactions, he went to sleep in half an hour, after few days I am giving half tablet, it's really working on him he is talking long sleep.So please start with the little dose

I will say that I felt so guilty giving my 4 year old something to help w sleep when she didn’t have difficulty going to sleep. However, she experienced something very traumatic and a friend suggested this. I saw her fall asleep peaceful and it was so nice to witness her not being sad or anxious. This is probably a life saver in my opinion. It doesn’t just knock you out and sedate you. She liked how it tasted and she gradually started to wind down. I seriously am not one to push any kind of pill but this helps.

I still give this 4 stars because it does the job however my youngest is more hesitant to take these because he says they tastes differently from the ones I typically buy at the store. He has a very picky taste and easily throws up so even the slightest change in flavor causes issues. My oldest doesn't seem to mind them.

For my 5yo son, he falls asleep within 5 minutes!

Felt a little groggy, but my daughter seems to like it and did not feel groggy the next morning. Would recommend giving it a try if you have trouble sleeping

Our 14 month old has had sleep issues at night ever since he was about 5 or 6 months. We tried everything including sleep training, keeping sleep logs, trying to get his naps consistent, using a heating pad in the crib, etc., etc., etc. Nothing has worked and he got to the point where we could put him to sleep on our bed at about 8pm and he would wake up every 15-20 minutes until 11pm or midnight. We couldn't enjoy OUR lives as he needed near 18 hour a day attention. Our last pediatrician recommended 1mg melatonin tablets. One review mentioned they are very strong and even a quarter of a pill can knock out an adult. I used that as a measuring point and started with half a pill and it definitely helps. We give him the pill and a bottle of milk and within 10 minutes he is completely drowsy and ready for sleep. He still wakes up 2-3 times until we go in the room and co-sleep with him around 11pm but it has made life MUCH easier. That said, I am not comfortable giving him a full 1mg. You can see an OBVIOUS change when he takes the pill and I don't even like giving him .5mg but at this point we have no other ideas. I feel like I am drugging my child to sleep which I am not comfortable with. I will add that during the day he is a much happier toddler, likely because he is getting much better sleep at night which makes me think that overall it is helping him. BUT, it is a dangerous slope. Your body can become dependent on it and .5mg becomes 1mg which becomes 2mg, etc. So, we plan on weaning him off of it slowly to see what happens. It's NOT a solution but a bandaid. From what we've read there is not enough long-term studies regarding children. We've also read that in parts of Europe you need a prescription to get Melatonin. Take that for whatever it's worth.If you're in a pinch go ahead and try it. Do not look at it as a long-term strategy unless prescribed by a doctor and even then I would get a second opinion. It will most likely help your child get to sleep but if they have other issues preventing them from a good nights sleep it is not going to work forever. You will end up gradually upping the dose until it is no longer "healthy". We just hope to get over this hump until he learns how to better soothe himself to sleep.
