Guest guest Posted July 21, 2006 Report Posted July 21, 2006 My kids also have a really tough time falling asleep.....and they never stop during the day! We tried the TV on, TV off when they fell asleep, TV with a timer, warm milk, turkey, bath before bed, shower before bed, don't shower before bed, rest before bed, that sound machine with the ocean or rain, etc...blah blah...the fish pills in the AM only and same bedtime every night. They do not nap and get up at approx. 6:00AM. The pediatrician said that we could try 3 mg of melatonin and now we do 6 mg. We were doing it every night and then took a break, but it seems that they need it again...now whether is builds up and then they need it again is the question because we are back to it again! Of course, as always, I would ask your dr. first before you try anything. It really has helped, though!!! kathy NJ (12, 11 and 8 yr old twins) ________________________________________________________________________ Check out AOL.com today.
