Moms what do u think about melatonin for baby ?

Please talk to your pediatrician and have your friend talk to them as well

I really don't get people just going...anyone have good experience? And it being not recommended or deadly by doctors (some essential oils can be deadly given to babies as well as Benadryl and other commonly "safe" given meds)

It is not prescribed under 2 years old and there is not enough research on babies to know if it is safe so your friend is taking a risk by giving it if not under a pediatricians supervision

Not coming at you as well just please anything you give a baby please talk to a doctor people on peanut are not medical experts (at least most of us)

I just feel our kids are too young to have melanins supplemented. We produce melanin naturally… have you tried changing the night time routine? I know maybe feeding later can help along having baby really tired by bedtime. I also stopped breastfeeding at 6 months, after a couple of nights baby started sleep through the night. I feed her a bottle when I go to sleep around 11/12.

I can’t wait to stop breastfeeding honestly. She just hates formula . I tried all different ones she doesn’t take it . I’m back to my work I don’t pump cause I don’t get enough with the pump so her breastfeeding schedule really dropped now she eats more solid. And still doesn’t take bottle . She drinks like 1oz of formula

If a Dr prescribes it then yes but it's frowned upon at least til age 3 unless recommended by a Dr.

Just seeing your answer!
I am sorry hear that baby rejects formula! Have you tried actual milk?
I have been buying the formula all the way from Italy, never had a problem with it. The name is Aptamil and I know formuland sells it. It’s expensive but I could compromise. As of now I started giving her half whole milk and half formula because I am getting ready to completely transition to whole milk by 14/15 months.

I tried rhe kendamil organic pink enfamil smilac she doesn’t take it . I recently bought by heart but she didn’t like that one either . So I’m planning to try one more last time maybe bubs 🥹🥹 I love breastfeeding her but I wish I did combo feeding very in the beggining . I gave her little bit to see if think she liked the milk she is at least having little bit . But I haven’t talk to her doctor yet so I’m not really giving her much since she is not 1 yet . But idk it’s so hard and upsetting me cause she doesn’t take much nutrition while im at work

You are going a good job mama, it’s all a learning process and every kid is different. Another thing I do is put a scoop in her bottle and she enjoys even more. Maybe it’s the taste compared to breast milk that is more appealing and sweet. Sending you a big hug 🫶🏾

thank you 🙏🏼❤️ u put one scoop formula in her milk ?

Yes that’s what I do. One scoop usually but if the bottle is like 8oz I put two
