Creekside Naturals Children’s Sleep Aid, with Melatonin and Chamomile, Zero S...

Been using this for 1yr+ off and on but multiple times a month on a variety of ages (under 11). Works every time. Gentle, relaxing and kids asleep after 20-30 minutes (especially kiddos 2-6). I always thought this was 1mg of Melatonin but was pleasantly surprised that it is only 0.5 melatonin! These really work for us, we try not to make it a habit because we have heard some negative studies on continued use of melatonin over time. If we could more comfortably/confidently use these daily, we would. My kids love them, and ask for them. We love that we can snap them in half easily. We did notice that our 4 year old and 2 year old got cranky tired/restless if we gave them a whole tablet/melt and it showed. So we gave them half tablets the next time and it did the job. We have used these probably for 3+ years. I panick when they are not available on Amazon. We used to by them under the Zzzzz brand/old packaging. Got really worried when they weren't there but occasionally we see them under that old look and get them if these aren't available. We think the Chamomile is an added bonus and promoted effectiveness. I see that they have an unmeasurable amount of Magnesium Stearate. All bonuses in our opinion. The MELT part is great for teeth. The gummie versions at the c v s or wal green are good, but they are 1mg and are gummies. That means the kids should have them BEFORE brushing teeth but that is not our schedule and we prefer to avoid the gummie material from possibly staying in the groves of their molars which would promote cavities. My only gripe or complaint would be that the individual foil packaging for each sleeve has no printing or labeling on it. So when the sleeve is left out of the box, or falls out in a purse or luggage, then you don't know what the pills are (if you have other products thay come in similar packaging, which we do). I have written in permanent marker to help identify them. I am adding photo of 4 products we have that some have identifying marking and this product and one other that do not have markings. Until this day we don't know for sure what the other one is. We recently bought a homeopathic non-melatonin option. It does not work as well, is not consistent and depending on the night we end up giving some of the kids this Creekside Children's Sleep Aid to get them to rest in a timely manner. Would be great if they developed an Eldeberry/Vitamin D edition for the winter months to support little immune systems. As an adult I have used these successfully as well. Just 1 tablet and it helps to fall asleep. The packaging says not habit forming. We agree. My kids aren't dependent but as parents we would like to use this more often to help with out weak sleep strategies. The package says Safe and Effective: we don't know the extent of that statement but still avoid using them more than we do use them out of an abundance of caution for any long term negative effects from consistent use. We recently bought like 6 packages because of holidays and to avoid any inventory issues. We really love these and count on these and depend on them.

I have an autistic 2 year old. She stays on sleep schedule for weeks at a time. Any of my fellow parents with autistic children know that out of the blue, they can completely fall off schedule. This product has helped us stay on schedule and saved mine and my husbands sanity. My husband and I both work from home. When she would get off schedule it would be 2 weeks of not sleeping, barely scraping by to get her back on schedule. Only for the schedule to work for a few weeks, and then her get off schedule again. I’m not sure why I didn’t think of this product sooner but I wish I did. It would’ve saved a lot of tears and sleepless weeks. I’m also trying to wean her from nursing. So it is especially hard. We’ve tried multiple products on the market. Liquid, gummies, chewable. Those other products she would wake up at times she wouldn’t normally. She’d bounce up at 3am wide awake and ready to party. Or she’d have terrible melt downs lasting several hours. If I had to guess, those products, one being a gummy, the other a liquid, couldn’t perfectly get down a measurable exact dosage. This product being a chewable and in 1 dose, measured tablets. Not only makes sure your child is getting a consistent dose but also is consistent strength, taste and amount. If you’re a parent struggling with sleeping issues, please try this product. It’s been the most consistent, less harmful and best product we’ve used. No matter whether you’re still looking for that perfect product or this is the first time you’re trying it, get this product. See how it works for your child. It’s a million times worth the piece of mind and sleep. Updating this review: here we are a year later and creekside is still working just like it did day 1. It’s currently unavailable on Amazon. I hope this isn’t a sign that it will no longer be available here. We would be crushed and our household would be sleepless.

The best night time sleep aid for my daughter and works for me too

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. Our wild toddler with ASD hypes himself up and up. It’s like we’d get him to wind down and regulate, and then he’d be amped again. This has helped him and US too get all much needed sleep. We give him breaks on the weekends, but oh it’s been a life saver! Also they taste amazing and dissolve quick.

Melatonin really helps my over active 4-year-old (and myself) sleep soundly at night. And I love that it’s natural and gentle. This particular brand has 0.5 mg of melatonin, which is a low enough dosage for children. Overall it works well. We give it to him during his bedtime routine and within a 1/2 hour he’s in his bed sleeping. He wakes up fine with no crankiness. And there’s been no side effects at all. Unfortunately though he didn’t really like this one as much as another brand we were using (CVS). At first, he down right rejected it saying it was yucky, but he did eventually take it after a few days. He doesn’t mind it, but he still likes the other one better. This one tastes a little like a sweet tart and it dissolves in your mouth. I think the chalky texture is what he doesn’t like.

Purchased this for my 3 year old son with ASD. As many children on the spectrum who have frequent night wakings, my son experiences the same. I purchased multiple products through Spectrum Awakening, and while I believe those products have helped, these tabs by Creekside Natural Theraputics have consistently worked well! The extra benefit aside from consistency is the cost difference! So many parents with children on the spectrum or other disabilities have difficult times with finances due to lack of child care (professionals trained to care for ASD children), cost of multiple therapies not fully covered by insurances(ABA, ST, OT...), multiple supplements, and so on, that it's such a blessing to be able to find something that works and is helpful to the budget. I used a Calm & Cool, Sleep & Serotonin, alternated with melatonin. Finally, I had the courage to just try the Creekside tabs (2), and he slept through the night! This is our experience only, he also seemed calmer with his mornings, and I hope this can work for other families. I do add magnesium with this since the other supplements kept him regular with added mag/calcium. He also gets a probiotic. He chews the tabs easy and my other children (one sister on spectrum w/minor sleep issues to "shut it down"). found them quite tolerable. I hope the company is able to keep their cost down. I re-ordered off their website as Amazon no longer had them available. When I went directly to the Creekside Natural Theraputics website they were on back order. I took a chance I would not be waiting long and ordered more. I received feedback they were being shipped to me the next day. Also noted they had other products for anxiety and hyperactivity. I love that the sleep aid has a small dose of melatonin (0.5mg) and mostly supported by chamomile (2mg). Hope it can help your family too.

The product works really good but unfortunately the pack I received waa opened.

I use these for my ADHD grandson. It helps calm him down before bed. It has very little melatonin which I feel it’s safe. He still tosses and turn a lot.
