I have an 11 year old son and I am unsure how much melatonin to give him? I have given him 5mg before but it that too much? Too little?
What dosage of melatonin should an 90lb 11 year old boy take?

Starting low is best; possibly 1-3 mg. but best to just check with his pediatrician. Also, what is the reason he's not sleeping well? He may not need any medication if you find out the root cause...
