I understand. It is soooo much work. We moms often do it alone, I know i do.

I'd say out of all the calming supps, melatonin was and is the best. I will

sometimes even use it as a PRN, now that we no longer do one of the previous

psychotropics which was calming. My doc said I could go up to 20 mg/day

w/melatonin.

I do hear you about being burnt at both ends. You have been at this a while.

All the best to you and your child,

Blessings,

Sara
