melatonin - my kid is sleeping :)))

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone,

I just wanted to let you know that for the last couple of years my 3 year old

daughter has not been able to fall asleep before 10pm. Instead she will spend at

least a couple of hours stimming in her bed while she tries to get herself into

sleep mode. Tonight we tried melatonin 1mg with 100mg of magnesium (Kirkmans)

and for the first time ever my child is asleep at 8.30pm. Obviously I am

completely delighted and I still don't know how the night will go but still....

i wanted to hear from all the veterans out there. What are your thoughts about

melatonin? Will she become addicted? My ped GP was very against her taking it.

In Israel you can't even buy it over the counter.

Thank you!
