Melatonin 101

[RealLifeMama]

I am ready to try this for my 3yo

I need to know:
What is the dose to start with?
What form to get?
Is "time-release" desirable or not?
How soon before bedtime do I give it to him?
What are the side effects or things to look for?

I do .25 mg 30 min before sleep. But DH and I both sleep well on 1 mg or .5 mg.

Time release is best for night waking, but unnecessary for just winding down.

Watch for aggression, bad dreams or sleeping too much.

We do liquid for speed, but gummies and sublingual are good too. Would only get tablets for older kids.
