, I am interested in his opinion. I am glad that you are finding some

help. Sleep is such a nice thing to have it makes have the ability to face all

the other issues with raising children. I bet it helps Ruby face her challenges

stronger too.

I emailed him about this and will see what he thinks. We started melatonin and

I think it is slightly helping; after reading about melatonin deficiency I

wonder if thats part of the problem. We also started Clonidine last week and so

far have had 1 out of 5 nights that Ruby slept almost 6 hrs uninterrupted; so

possibly this combination could be better than others.

keeping fingers crossed each night.

thanks everyone,

had problems from time to time but since she was a newborn we have done the same

things that I mentioned before. Things to create good sleep hygene rarely used

meds except higher PM seizure doses and benedryl till I knew that can cause

seizures, oops. My question is what is Dr. Dobyns take on this issue? Has anyone

asked since he is the PMG expert?
