Zarbees melatonin for 1 year old?

Question

It’s been a week now that my son goes to sleep normal time 8pm (he is 1) and he is up again at midnight, goes back to sleep right away with some comfort, and then he’s back up at 2 am until SIX AM! I have to leave for work at 7. I’m dying. My friend told me she tried zarbees melatonin for a week or two when her daughter did this to get her back on track. Is it safe for him?

Answer

I would call your pediatrician. I personally wouldn't at that age bc they are still forming sleep habits.

Answer

NO. Never give your child a hormone like that without consulting a doctor first. I don’t understand why people think they need to jump to medication for children with sleeping problems, especially that young.

Answer

Nope! Giving children melatonin regularly inhibits their bodies natural ability to produce it because the body thinks it doesn’t have to. I know it’s rough, but it will pass. Babies go through stages

Answer

I researched melatonin fairly recently. It DOES NOT help children stay asleep through the night, which is your problem. It only helps to fall asleep, if that is the problem. I don’t think it would help even if you did use it.

Answer

No. It says 2+

Answer

Hi. Did you find out from your PEDS if it was okay about the melatonin? Is your baby sleeping fine now? 
I need help with my baby. She isn’t sleeping to the point she is getting eye bags and her eyes are getting red. That’s why I am thinking about using melatonin to help her. 
We made the room as dark as possible and no sound except the fan on because it gets hot without the fan on. 
She wakes up almost every 30 mins to an hour by screaming. This happens every night. Her father and I aren’t sleeping well to the point we argue with each other more than usual.

Answer

I would not do it without asking your doctor. What might help is diffusing lavender in their bedroom.

Answer

8pm is actually a pretty late bedtime. I’d try moving it up to 7 or even as early as 6:30 or 6! Earlier bedtimes are game changers and so much more beneficial for them.

Answer

I used it once in a while on my little guy when he was going through a tough time sleeping. I think he was closer to two or three though. One seems young I would stick it out.

Answer

I’ve used the night time zarabees cough syrup for my daughter (it has 0.5mg melatonin) when she had a cough—she was closer to 15 months.
