[quote=Anonymous]Parent of a 3.5 year old here. She was a great sleeper as an infant. Short of some periods of sleep regression, she was a good dependable sleeper. Then she turned 3. She’s become so difficult to get to sleep and can stay awake (but still clearly tired) and bedtime can easily extend to 10/1030. She then wakes up cranky and is cranky all day. We’ve tried most everything: dropping naps, easing into bedtime, wake baths, being firm at bedtime etc. we never had to deal with this with our older child so this is new territory for us. The ONLY thing that actually works is a melatonin gummy. She will fall asleep quickly, get a full nights sleep and wakes up happy and is a happy girl all day. Our Ped does not recommend using too often so it’s only a break the glass option. Does anyone use melatonin to help with their kid’s sleep? What are the reasons you shouldn’t? I never asked the ped why she doesn’t recommend it (but will the next time we are there). [/quote]
