Hi
My son is 3yrs old with ASD and has started Melatonin. I was told to start him on 0.25ml which made no difference to his sleep we are now up to 0.5ml which I'm told is quite high and he is still awake all night!!!!! Is anyone having any luck with Melatonin and if so what dose are they giving their child????? Any advice would be appreciated I'm running out of ideas we have tried everything!!!!  Ta |

I give 3-4mL. That's a 1mg per mL for an almost 6yo.
