Those who use melatonin for their kids what brand do you use and how many mg do you give your kids? My sons psychiatrist has recommended giving them to him to help him sleep at night because his medicine that he is on affects his sleep. If I allowed him to he would be awake 24-7. She told me I can give him up to 5mg. I was going to start off low and work up if needed.
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 and did something else with an other girl.... and it's 10:51 am now and he hasn't texted me at all. and after he dropped me off I texted him saying what I felt and nothing. I don't know if I'm over reacting or what or what should i do. do i wait until he text me?
Who else has financial issues within their relationship?? Or am I just lucky 🙄🙄 Not sure if I'm being just mean or what. But my SO used $160 from me this morning. I gave him my bank card because he needed $60 to get material for work. His boss was going to give it back to him at the end of the day. So instead of $60 he took out $160. Which I was a little pissed. (One of the reasons I just can't let him use my card. I have to go get the money from the atm myself if I'm giving it to him) then, tonight he asked for $20 incase his boss didn't give it to him. So I gave him my card not even thinking because I had kids running around me. I asked if he could pick up a few things that were out of and told him he could use my card if he has too. And I even told him not to get the expensive brands or anything m generic is fine. So he does. But when he does he decides to go Easter shopping for the kids. (Not sure if he used to my card or not) but if he did, I'd be even more pissed. He knows I have bills to pay on top of giving my son's school money that I owe them. He goes to a private school and I haven't paid in 5 months. It's towards the end of school now so I need to pay it. He knows this month I am extremely tight because of the school, im already in debt and my credit score sucks. I have been trying not to get in more debt and actually fix my credit. I'm so frustrated. It's like we have different priorities and different ideas on this. I feel like I'm completely drowning!!
So mamas I need advice. We take our son to the gym with us and they watch him in their kid care. Well this will be the third time that we’ve gotten called in there to get him because he’s supposedly doing something we’ve never seen or heard of him doing. When I went in there, the girl was holding him, he was in tears and so happy to see me and wanted me to pick him up. I told her I wanted to see him doing what he was supposedly doing. He went on to play with a toy nicely so I told him to come to me, picked him up and signed him out. While my man was still working out, I walked straight up to the general manager and told him I wanted to speak with him in his office. We reviewed the cameras together and my son was IN FACT not doing anything wrong but playing and she grabbed him by his arm for NO REASON and slammed him on the ground and he was on the ground for a good minute before getting back up. Right then and there was when we were called to come get him because he was supposedly throwing heavy toys at kids (which he never does). The manager apologized and then told us he would talk to her... what should we do?
My son is one year old and i want him to go back and get use to sleeping in the crib I put him in the crib and all he does is cry and I spoke to his doctor and his doctor said let him cry like in 2 or 3 days he should get use to sleeping on his own has anyone try it ?
Ok, so my friend is wanting to get pregnant but..... Her fiancé does not want kids, at lease for another 3-5 years he said... so she came up with the idea to have me pee on a stick for her and show it to him so that he’ll be comfortable with not wearing a condom and finishing in her.. basically the whole idea is to make him think she’s pregnant already...... so I do this favor for her or should I tell my girl to chill? He and my husband are friends through us and he’s going to invite him over tonight and run it by him...

My son gets 1 mg and that works for him. We use the Natrol Kids gummies, but we’ve also used the Zarbees liquid. The liquid kicks in faster, so that I would give about half an hour before he should be sleeping. With the gummies I give it to him an hour before bed. He prefers the gummies.

This is what my pediatrician recommended for us (and worked): 1mg every night for two weeks. Then quit cold turkey. This will help reset the sleep pattern. From then on out, only give when traveling or when they’ve had a particularly hard/long day. That giving every single night can cause depression, anxiety, and can cause the person to become dependent on it. Good luck. ❤️

And we used Wink Naturals Kids Sleep Melts (1mg)

We use zarbees as well. One gummy is enough to help my daughter when she's restless. Sometimes she's stays asleep the whole night sometimes she doesn't. Just the other night I gave her one at 2 am...and she was up still at 6:30 😑...I agree when you find a certain mg isn't working stop for a week or two and then start again on a low dose. My husband has been taking 5 mg for years and cannot fall asleep without it. That's not something you want for your son while he's so young.

Unfortunately with his meds it will continue to cause him issues with sleep so we will either have to give him melatonin or another form of sleeping aid. I wanted to try the more natural route first. We have tried to lower his dosage and see if that would help with his sleep and it doesn’t make a difference. While on the meds he will literally stay up all night and day. Without meds he will sleep around 2-3am. Unfortunately he has to be on the meds so stopping isn’t an option. If I give him the melatonin and stop it, it’s not going to reset his sleep pattern.

@dontblockmesis-imjustspeakingfacts awws poor guy. definitely try the melatonin first. Maybe to gauge his dosage my daughter is 45 lbs and takes 1 mg. She could probably tolerate 2 mg. Of course there are other factors as well but it's just a start. I hope you figure it out so little guy can sleep better.
