OZzzz’s Sleep Aid for Children, with Melatonin and Chamomile, Pediatrician Formulated, Zero Sugar, Vegan, Orange Dream Flavor, 30 EZ Melt Tablets

This sleeping aid has literally changed my life, and that is no joke. My little man is what they would call a "spirited child". He has NEVER slept well (waking every 2 hours since he was born until he was about 10 months old). When I would hear stories about my friends babies and little toddler's sleeping 10-12 hours straight, I would be so jealous (my three year old has NEVER slept more than 11 hours straight, even when he is sick). I read so many books, tried so many techniques. Until he was about 2 1/2 I was at my wits end. Our nights consisted of my spending about an hour or two putting him to bed, and then me holding his door handle for the next hour plus. I so wanted to just put a lock on the outside handle, but I couldn't bring myself to do it (it is a fire hazard). I used to take him on car rides for his nap and at night. I went to social media pleading for help from friends and family and ANY advice they hand (besides consistency, baths before bed, etc. NONE of these worked. I seriously did not go out in the evenings for 6 months to 1 year and did the EXACT routine everyday, almost down to the minute. We gave up TV, and tried to limit sugar as much as possible). I had suggestions about weighted blankets, exercise before bed, and melatonin (I did not realize they made it for kids). So I ordered this on Amazon. My son has literally done a 180 when it comes to bed time. He is now 3 years old. We give it to him almost every night (with the okay from our doctor). Bed time is no longer a fight. He goes to bed so well. No holding the door. Sometimes I lay with him for about 20 minutes, sometimes I read him some stories and then kiss him goodnight and leave. I have my life back. I no longer dread putting him to bed. Thank you sooo much for this product. It seriously brings tears to my eyes how much better life in our house is because of this. I wish it was on subscribe and save!NOTE: I read the other reviews. My son has a hard time falling asleep AND staying asleep. He does not have autism or ADHD, he just has so much energy and could play all day long. He is also VERY skinny (weights 27 pounds). This pill does not "drug" him like some other reviewers have experienced. He just can't wind down on his own (I believe this is genetic. His dad is the same way, he also takes melatonin). If I give him a pill and don't put him to bed right away, he doesn't fall asleep. But once we lay down in his room and things are quiet and dark, he does fall asleep fairly easily (within 30 minutes). I do give him a whole pill. So even with him being so small, I don't feel like the douse is too much based on his needs. I have also not experienced ANY other side effects except better sleep, and he takes it almost every day.

I have been searching for something safe and effective to give to my 9 year old. He has always had a problem falling asleep and then staying asleep. Nights were becoming a huge problem where we would fight with him for hours on end to go to sleep, only to have him wake back up a couple of hours later. His doctors said it was a phase and it would eventually end. Well that was no help as we have been dealing with this since he was a toddler. They finally prescribed him something that made him drowsy not only at night (which he still barely slept), but also during the day where all he wanted to do was lay around.- We do not give him any type of sweets- No Caffeine- Anything that had sugar in it had been completely cut from his diet- Plenty of exercise during the daytime hours and right after dinner- Shower/bath an hour or so before his bedtime- No TV/Games an hour before bedThose were all recommendations from the various doctors/specialists we had been to see over the course of a few years.- He was diagnosed with Autism at an early age - which in his case, he was ocd about changes, so we had to make sure that his routine was never interrupted. The specialists said that maybe his lack of sleep was due to changes in his every day routine - that just simply was not the case for him. Everything they had suggested simply was not working.This product worked wonders. We gave him one pill at 7pm, by 8pm he was sound asleep snuggled in his bed. I stayed up the entire night just to make sure he had no reactions to it. He never woke up one time. He was up and well rested by 8am the next day. Gave him another pill that night and by 8pm, he was back asleep (Finally, the entire family could get some much needed sleep).We've been giving these to him for a little over a month now. The change in his overall attitude has been amazing. He's well rested and not a grumpy little boy anymore.We did take him off them for a week, just to see if maybe he could get by without needing them, he had a few nights sleep without them, then was back to never wanting to sleep or when he did fall asleep, he was back up within a couple of hours. He came to us and asked us for more of his sleepy time medicine (what we called it when giving it to him). So here I am, back on Amazon ordering more.I would not hesitate when it comes to recommending these to any person that's trying to find a safe and effective night time sleep aid. Even if they were an adult - I have been taking these as well, (on nights where I just couldn't fall asleep), within an hour, I was out cold and woke up feeling refreshed (not groggy or drowsy like other sleep aids had made me).

I was VERY hesitant to give my son anything to help him sleep, but we were in a sleep nightmare that began when he was about 18 months old. He was having some sensory issues and would wake in the middle of every single night and scream to get up for hours and hours on end if we weren't in there rocking him. He would wake in the middle of the night and think it was time to wake up and go play. This went on for two months and was happening every night and getting worse, with him going from an average of 12 hours of sleep a night to as little as 5 or 6, which was affecting his awake time as well because he was exhausted. It was also affecting our older daughter, who was unable to sleep through the crying and was also exhausted. We talked to the pediatrician, who recommended giving him Benadryl every night to sleep. This was not a long-term solution so I began researching melatonin when he was about 20 months and purchased this product. The first night, he woke once and needed soothing but was obviously still tired and fell back asleep. Since then, he still wakes and stirs but if we go in and pat him, we can tell he's still tired and he will go back to sleep. He is back to getting 11-12 hours a night, which has greatly improved his quality of awake time. He is trying new food, interacting with other children, and FINALLY talking-- none of which he was doing when he was not sleeping and was miserable while awake. I know that giving children any kind of medication to rest is something that is very up-in-the-air, medically, but I was out of ideas and no one seemed to have any answers. I will continue to use this product and then gradually wean him off it when he is ready. He loves the taste and gladly takes one before bed each night, which is another miracle as he generally fights taking any medication by mouth. It has, at least temporarily, restored some peace in our lives. I would recommend that parents research melatonin before making a decision to give it, but for us, it has been the right choice and I am extremely happy with this product and the dosage of melatonin in it, as well as it being a meltable chew.

My 2 year old resists naps frequently so I got this to try. The first time I gave it to her I gave her a half pill because of some reviews I read. After 30 minutes, she was so over tired and miserable that I had to walk her for an hour to get her to sleep. I was so disappointed that I didn't think I'd ever use this stuff again.Then, a couple weeks later I tried it again but only 1/4 pill. This was the perfect dosing. She goes to sleep in about 30 minutes and sleeps for 2 hours, which is a perfect nap. My husband and I tried it too. He doesn't like it because he feels it makes him too groggy the next day. I, on the other hand, love it. I take it all the time when I have trouble sleeping. I have a 1 year old and 2.5 year old and they wake me up and sometimes I can't go back to sleep so I take 1 pill. In the morning I may be a little tired but it's nothing like the groggy feeling from Tylenol PM.This was also a savior on an airplane. My 2.5 yr old took 1/4 pill and slept for 2 hours, which I know our neighbor was happy about!!I will continue to use this whenever we need to but I try not to overuse it as I don't want my daughter to experience any side effects.I also think it's irresponsible of the manufacturer to recommend that 1 pill is ok for a 2 year old...

my 7 year old daughter started having trouble sleeping right before school ended and has continue for the past 3 months. i was exhausted and frustrated because she wakes me up when she gets up. She too was frustrated and tired. For parents with children who are experiencing sleep trouble please know they too are aggravated because they cant sleep. my daughter would cry and ask why cant I fall asleep like other children. when i took her to see a dr he advised giving her tylenol to make her drowsy. I was not comfortable with that and decided to try other methods. I tried lavendar baths, long exhausting days, bedtime reading, and other sleep meds like calms forte to no avail. finally i saw the reviews on this product. It arrived within 2 days as promised. my daughter and i were both excited. i gave it to her around 8:30 and put her to bed. 10 mins later she came out and said she still wasnt sleepy. I sent her back to bed and checked on her 15 mins later. she was totally asleep and stayed asleep all night! however, one night after taking 1 half of the pill she woke up after 5 hrs of sleep but went back pretty quickly.I will say that there is truth in the warning with this product offered from another reviewer: start with less than a whole pill. my daughter is 7 and weighs about 50 lbs. she takes half and wakes up refreshed and smiling. i also appreciate that the product is all natural. seems a little costly for 30 pills but wont balk because it helps my daughter and I both get some much needed rest.I hate the thought of giving my child sleep aids but tried so many options first like having her speak to the school counselor to see if she was bothered by something. I also limited/monitored tv programs and time on electronics- i finally decided that her suffering wasnt a price i was willing to pay while i tried to figure out what may be simply a stage that will pass soon- this product has been the relief we needed.

Update: wow it’s so weird to look back on this review from years and years ago. It’s hard to remember there was a time that we went through such a difficult sleep period with our daughters. The 2 year old I spoke of in this earlier review is turning 11 in a couple days!!! 😳 I still use this product for all 3 of my kids periodically. I always keep a supply on hand in case of those occasions where they are struggling with their schedules. Especially during the pandemic and switching school schedules back and forth frequently, this product has really helped us through it all. I 100% trust this product and have trusted it for a very long time!! I even use it myself at times. I never have to give my kids an entire dose. I usually break them up in smaller pieces and gradually increase if needed. Works like a charm!!! This had been the best sleep aid I have ever used for the entire family! Thank you!I have a two year old girl who thinks she should never stop going!!! She is full of non stop energy and about 1 1/2 ago she started staying up until all hours of the night, Some nights she would even make it until 2 aM! I was so exhausted. I thought to myself, "OH GOD! What is she gonna be like as a teenager?EEEK!!!" anyways, She would stay up so late but wake up so early, and it was so hard to get her asleep for naps, but then she would take 2 -3 hour naps and almost impossible to wake up. I tried to cut out the naps or make them only 45 minutes, thinking this was our problem but NOPE!. What would happen is she would fall asleep at 8 or 9 but then....3 hours later she was wide awake like it was the middle of the day and she just had a nap and these nights she was up even later. I tried everything with this girl and nothing worked. I was even getting her to nap way early in the day, in bed by ten but then she would wake up at 3 AM ready to go!!!! you could only imagine the pain and suffering my husband and I experienced through this last 18 months. I talked to her doctor when this first started and he said it was a phase, but after a year or so I realized she was not going to get over it. I found this product online and read some reviews I also talked to some proffessionals, teachers, and peditricians about this and they said it was probably a melatonin inbalance and to give it a shot, it could not hurt her. So we did and it has been a month. We have a 8 month old and a 7 year old too so it wasnt easy keeping up with our two year olds sleep schedule, but let me tell you, this last month has been absolutely incredible!!!! at first, she did wake up in the middle of the night but was very easy to get back to sleep. After about a week, she was in bed by 9 every night until 8 or 9 the next morning and she would wake up lively, refreshed and in a great mood which was a big difference from her usually groggy crabby mornings. She is still doing great after a month and we finally got her on a consistent schedule, some days she naps, other days she doesnt, but the days she does nap, it doesnt matter how long or what time she is still ready for bed at 10 at the latest and she stays asleep alllll night!!! Another great thing about ozzzz's is she used to get so congested while she was sick with a cold she would wake up two or three times a night coughing so hard she would throw up, she still coughs a little bit in her sleep but it seems to keep her at a steady state of relaxation that it doesnt get too much out of control before. I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT TO ANY PARENT is suffering from a child with a sleep problem. It is perfectly safe, all natural and easy for her to take, it can SERIOUSLY change your life and save your marriage!!!! haha. My husband and I NEVER fight about anything we have an AMAZING relationship and communicate on a healthy level, but LACK OF SLEEP can be seriously damaging to any relationship, we fought over things that would never bother us after endless nights of very little sleep, we also had VERY little time for each other or ourselves since she was awake from the time we got up until we were so tired we could hardly move, and our relationshop lacked intimacy for quite some time, but since we started ozzzz's we are back on track:) trust me it is so worth it and you WILL NOT REGRET IT

I am in the US Navy and my daughter and two grandchildren live with me! I was recently on a deployment and my daughter kept telling me that she was having problems with the children going to sleep. When I returned last month, I was able to witness this "hell night" for myself! The four year old would not calm down until 11 or 12 and would not go to sleep until 1 or 2! The two year old would go to sleep around 9 pm but would wake up refreshed and ready to be a tyrant around midnight! Up until today, I had no answer. We had to allow each one of the children to sleep with one of the adults in the home, in order for them to sleep! They would start the night in their own beds, but would eventually wake up and go to either my bed or my daughter's bed. We both have had horrible sleep having to putting them back to bed, just for them to wake up 20 minutes later in one of our beds.So I did some research and saw quite a bit of products available. I decided to use this product because of the reviews. At 730 pm tonight, I gave my 2 year old 1/2 pill and the 4 year old a full pill. The two year old fell asleep within 15 minutes! I usually have to argue and fuss at the 4 year old to go to bed or to put away the games! To my surprise he obeyed me right away, went to bed when asked and fell asleep within 30 minutes of his pill!For a few minutes I was afraid that I had poisoned the grand kids and so I have gone upstairs to check on them twice! I will feel better when I see their happy little faces in the morning all refreshed and ready for a new day! So far so good! Thank you lord for an answer! I will write an update in the morning! I am praying for uninteruped sleep and that they will stay in their beds all night long! I am also hoping that this will help with the bad attitudes and all of the fussy days that we have seen! The 4 year old starts school on Monday and he surely needs to get his rest! This will also help us get them both back on a schedule!

I can't believe I haven't written a review about these until now. I have been purchasing this for 7 years now. My oldest child (now 9) has always struggled with sleep issues. We felt like we had tried everything, and her pediatrician then suggested melatonin, with the recommended dosage at that time being 1mg per age (?!). I have taken melatonin for myself before and did not want to give a toddler a 2mg dose of melatonin. I found these and was so grateful--it's nearly impossible to find microdosages of melatonin, let alone have it be a flavor your kids like and isn't a gummy that will sit in their teeth. Now that my children are older, we only use these as needed when traveling or when we're just too worked up to sleep. (And even then, I will usually split 1 tablet into 0.25mg for each of my kids to take and that small amount still works perfectly!) But these have been a life saver, especially during that toddler/preschool phase of my daughter simply not wanting or being able to fall asleep at night. I've been waiting months for them to come back into stock and it doesn't look like it's going to happen, which makes me so sad!! We've had to search elsewhere and it's so much more expensive, my kids don't like the flavors, and nearly all of them are 1mg (or more) and are in a gummy format. PLEASE BRING THIS BACK!
