[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 3 year old has autism (diagnosed by a doctor) and his developmental pediatrician recommended 1 mg of melatonin to help him fall asleep and stay asleep. It helps with falling asleep but he still wakes up at night. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with trying it in the short term but I wouldn’t use it longer than a week or two at a time without a doctor’s advice. [/quote] Your developmental pediatrician is not the smartest. Melatonin does not help with staying asleep, so I'm not sure why they would recommend it for that. [/quote]
