Mylicon sleep gummies - anyone tried?
Just saw this article about Mylicon's new sleep gummies for kids. Says they're tummy-soothing to help kids drift off. Sounds interesting but I'm a bit skeptical. Anyone know anything about these?
Oh, I remember Mylicon from when my kids were babies – gas relief. Now they're doing sleep? Seems like a jump. But if it's gentle and works, why not? I'd read the label for melatonin content though. Some of these 'sleep' gummies have too much and end up making kids groggy in the morning.
I did a quick search. The article mentions they use a blend of magnesium and chamomile, not melatonin. That's probably a gentler approach. But I'd still check with your pediatrician before trying. Some kids are sensitive to new supplements. Also, look for third-party testing if you're cautious about ingredients.
From a holistic perspective, I like that they're addressing tummy issues as a root cause of sleep problems. But I always recommend natural sleep routines first – consistent bedtime, avoid screens. These gummies could be a nice support though. I'd give them a try if my kid had tummy troubles at night.
Fair point, but I'd still be wary of the sugar content. Some gummies are loaded with sugar. Have to watch that too. Maybe look for a sugar-free option or one sweetened with stevia.
