Should you use melatonin supplements to help kids sleep?

Are you offering your child melatonin supplements every night? In this video I'm sharing why this is NOT the solution to reach for each night!! There's a lot wrong in the melatonin industry, and instead of a gummy each night (that may not even be working)...let's get their natural melatonin levels flowing with these 3 steps!

NICU doctors have premature infants taking melatonin. Pediatricians have 2 and 3 year olds on clonidine for sleep. Tell me that makes sense. I’ll take my chance with 1 mg of melatonin.

Hi Becca, my wife and i are first time parent and we have a 13 months old. We have been struggling from last 13 months, my baby doesn't sleep. We have to rock him in standing position for sometimes even upto 2 hours to put him to sleep. Even day naps can take upto sometime more than an hour. He would sleep for few hours at night and then wake up crying, in middle of night we have to start rocking again. Our life's have been misreable. We have setup a proper routine, dark room, whitenoise.. everything that we have read online and youtube...We even signed up for some course and followed the routine but didnt help us... we both have back problems now, not sure what to do. We thought of giving 1/4th dose melatonin and thats how i landed on this page and i guess thats a no no. Any suggestion? Any word of advice?

What would you say for an independent sleeper who follows a strict routine, for one or two doses on a vacation where they cant sleep? My 2 year old can't sleep in any other setting beside his own room and bed, even with a dark room, white noise, his comfort blanket and animal.... He just wont settle in foreign environments. Were going on vacation in june.
