**need immediate advice*** my son has severe sleep apnea and he wakes up constantly throughout the night with a runny nose and because he can barely breathe half the time so I took him to an urgent care for something irrelavant to the sleep apnea and the pediatrician there told me I could give him Zarbee’s night time relief for the mucus build up. the pharmacist and I compared the ingredients between Zarbee’s infant cough and mucus and their children’s night time one and she told me it should be fine because one year olds can have honey.. well I gave him half of a dose which is between 2 and 2.5ml because I didn’t want to give him the whole dose a 2 year old is supposed to have, even though he is the size of a two year old, and I completely missed that there’s melatonin in it. Only 0.5mg but I’m worried.. is he going to be okay with this?
I’d call the doctor and just keep a close eye on him. He should be fine since it’s such a small dose.
He should be okay, especially since you gave him a smaller dose, but does your pediatrician have an on call nurse service or anything? Just to get reassurance. I've called more times than I can count just to hear them say "It's fine." Haha.
@shayswayy, my daughter was 3 when she had hers removed. They didn’t know how big hers were until they removed them. It’s crazy. I’d say it’ll be ok though Momma
@damn.it.red, he’s only one and doesn’t let the doctors see his throat so who knows how big his are. He’s had it since birth I feel like. At 3 months he used to turn blue in his sleep it was so bad 😢
@damn.it.red, and thank you!! I sure hope so because I’ve heard such negative things about melatonin😢
@shayswayy, oh wow. Yeah my daughter doesn’t have a severe case. Having her tonsils removed helped a ton. They were HUGE which made it harder for her to breathe.
@damn.it.red, yes he has. It showed that he has severe obstructive sleep apnea. It is just taking forever for him to see an ENT
Has he had a sleep study done? My daughter has sleep apnea.
He should be. Melatonin is a hormone made by the body anyways.
Make your own breakfast!
At what age do you think a child should be making their own breakfast? I have a 10 year old and I think he is perfectly capable of making himself breakfast. It doesn't take rocket science to put some waffles into the toaster, or microwave some pancakes. My husband insists that he needs to have breakfast made for him because if we left it up to him he wouldn't eat enough and it would take him forever.
advice needed!
my 7 year old son still wets the bed at least 3 times a week, I've taken him to see a specialist and he's fine, but nothing helps I don't allow him to drink anything after 6pm, I make him use the restroom before bed and I wake him up in the middle of the night and he still wets his self, my 4 year old son never be any accidents and this is just so frustrating should I punish him because I don't feel like he even tries to avoid wetting his self
I know a mom who carries her sonn alllll the time. And her Daughters carry him ALL the time as well. He is one and a half and cannot walk! Because they carry him all day. 😠 idk how to help her at this point. He also does not sleep through the night or talk 😞 is that even normal?
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
Advice??my 6 year old is acting up...
I know it might not help but my 6 year old raise his hand at me and call me fat before that he hit me and i say no because you know you cry. I took his tablet away and told him that he needs to stop. that got him more mad and thats when he did it.So i tell him he would stay with me these weekend and not with his dad.
