[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it fine for occasional use like overnight flights and adjusting to jet lag (as does our pediatrician). We use a non-gummy brand called Tired Teddies which is a much smaller dose than most gummies (I think 0.3 mg). It ha so made my child much more well-rested and this happy on international trips. [/quote] Just an FYI, but 0.3 mg is the recommended dose for a full grown adult, not a 2 year old. Melatonin is regulated as a food supplement and not a drug, so the most pills you see are super high doses, because consumers don't know better and think that "more is better".[/quote] What? Adults typically take 2-5mg to start, not 0.3. Perhaps 0.3 could do something in someone very sensitive, but it isn't true that it is a typical adult dose. 1+ is usually where children are at risk. I would be fine with my child taking 0.3 if necessary, but probably wouldn't do so for this reason.[/quote]
