Works well on Autistic 3yr old boy
Our son is 3yrs old and has Autism. We don't give this every night to our son, but sometimes we give him one pill on days that he wasn't as active, or on those restless nights that he can't fall asleep. It used to take him about one hour of kicking, mumbling, getting out of bed, rolling on bed etc. to fall asleep. At first we tried not to give him any sleep aid, however our doctor said it was OK to give him Melatonin if he can't fall asleep in less than half and hour and has trouble deep sleeping. It's best if you give the child the pill at the start of the bedtime rutine, this way the effects has time to work it's way through their system and they can fall right to sleep once they are in bed. It takes my son about 30mins to fall asleep and he is 40lbs. This pill has been a life saver. Our son used to get up in the middle of the night, sometimes at 2am, 3 am or 4am and won't fall back to sleep or would fall back asleep in two hours. Later in the day he wouldn't be able to concentrate or go to preschool because he was too tired to wake up from being up all night
