My son's a year old and he is been waking up in the middle night like four or five times would it be wrong for me to…

Don't mess up his natural sleeping pattern. I'm sure it will turn around. They all go through this phase

I would not suggest giving him melatonin it can be very dangerous !! Someone I know would Give it to her child all the time and it releases to much chemicals from child's brain and he didn't wake up .

The child ended up dying from it , idk where your at and if the pedtrician okays it there but here they don't okay it for children.

@ecahanes @mommabear10124 okay. I'm going to talk to his doctor to see what else I can do.

@mommabear10124 I live in New York. my husband kids pediatrician told him to give them melatonin their 5 and 6.

I went to the store and bought natural tablets of melatonin for kids...... and my kids got into the medicine cabinet and my one son ate the whole bottle of 50 pills...... he's completely fine but it was homeopathic so if you wanted to try that it might work for you... my sons are 3 and he is completely fine nothing wrong with him

@alyssa_hoffmaster he hasn't gotten the hang of taking pills. I hate taking them too. Is there liquid kind?

@nicolesinicrope2017, I honestly didn't see the liquid kind but these pills taste like nothing and they melt in your mouth right away. Idk if you wanted to try it but I got them at target

@alyssa_hoffmaster okay I'm going to call his doctor and see

@nicolesinicrope2017, ya it doesn't hurt to try

Please don't give your child melatonin.

@beebaby I'm going to ask his doctor if i can. I never do anything without his doctors approval. He has a very hard time sleeping.

My youngest son didn't sleep through the night until almost 18 months. But my oldest slept through the night at 3 months. That might just be his schedule. Most likely the doctor won't recommend it. In my years as a nurse I haven't seen it happen

@beebaby my husband's kids doctor approved it for his children. We all have the same doctor now I see him the 27 for my son so we will see what he says. No I had him on a schedule bed at 8pm wake up at 7am. For the past week he wakes up every hour or so a night. My husband works at 7am I work a 5am. He just started this. So I will see what the doctor recommendeds.

Ok
