Well 3g melatonin is relatively harmless with dimetapp. I don't think you should be mixing it. Give your child dimetapp first, then give melatonin 2-3 hours. Just to avoid any side affects while sleeping. You should especially do this if you've never gave your child any medicine. If your child was allergic to any medical substance and you fed it melatonin, it could pass out and die while asleep; depending on the severity of the allergic reaction.
You can't change an infants sleeping habit from melatonin. Infants have regular changing sleeping patterns, where sleep is actually recommended. Anyway, sleeping habits can change within 5 days of constant awakening.
melatonin is an herbal sleep aid.beeter check with medical professional.plus you may alter their sleeping habits whereas they depend on it.not susposed to be habit forming but it is for some and I am one of the some as have EI/MCS making my immune system super weak and kid's immune system is not fully developed.
