New boiler?

That's great!!

We have just been to see dd and then to the park. Ds insisted on walking the whole way so it took AGES. He gets so distracted and has to investigate everything. But he's now asleep. Fingers crossed he stays asleep so I can make some fajitas for lunch Smile I'm starving!

Today's the first day I've noticed a slight difference. I haven't been stressed whilst cleaning for the inspection tomorrow. Where normally I'd be getting chest pains I'm that stressed.
Atm I just feel kind of flat, If that makes sense? Just seem to have one flat mood.
They said it can take up to 4 weeks to fully have an effect

Have you felt any improvement yet cupcake or do they take a while to kick in?

That sounds good Lulu :) hope u enjoy ur week!

Ducky I'm glad ur DS had a good night. My DS is the same, still waking up, he woke at 3am last night and demanded to come to my bed. My tablets are making me very sleepy in the day as well.

It's so hard knowing what to do. He had a good night last night. He woke up once at 4 but just wanted me to hold his hand then slept until just after 5. How is your ds1 sleeping now cupcake?

Hope you have a nice week together lulu.

Just markng my place on the new thread so I can find you all. We are on DH's half-term so are in Yorkshire for a few days.

DS is exhausted today- he has been busy all day. He was asleep by 7.30 tonight. We are hoping for a bit of a lie in tomorrow. Lunch at PIL with grandma, two old family friends and and SIL and BIL so that will be nice.

I've not heard about the sexual maturity thing Confused
Yes it's worked for the people I know, only thing is after about a year most of their children had their doses upped as it can stop working as the body gets used to it
I've not heard them say anything about side effects either no

I was reading online and some pages said they get addicted to it and it can actually make them worse as then they can't fall asleep without it. And also it can apparently affect their sexual maturity or something.

And then the other thing is, I suffer from sleep paralysis because I produce too much melatonin or maybe ds just left his in my body Hmmbut I would hate for that to happen to him.

Does it work ok for the people you know that use it? No side effects etc.

No he never had it only because his dad (my moms ex husband!) wouldn't Allow it Hmm tho he's better off having it if I'm honest because he's now 14 years old and mom still has to sit by his bed till he falls asleep.
And I know quite a lot of people who's children are younger than 12 who take melatonin, some as young as ur DS tbh.

Did your brother have it?

I feel very uneasy about it. I have been doing reading dr Google and that seems to suggest it shouldn't be given under 12 yrs Confused

Oh gosh Confused separation anxiety?
I guess that's why he cries when H has him?
My brother is autistic and that's what they wanted to give him to help him fall asleep at night. Supposed to calm them and stop anxiety.
Are u gong to give it a go?
I think it'd be worth it just to see if it works

They said it is separation anxiety. They prescribed liquid melatonin which they said would work but he can only have it for 8 weeks Confused
