A MyAutismTeam Member asked a question 💭

Does anyone have a toddler who has been prescribed sleep aides? My daughters pedi told us to bring it up to her neuro, but I would like to have some sort of medication list with me when we go to her appointment. She is turning 3 I'm November, and doesn't sleep. She has a hard time falling asleep and staying asleep. She's on meds ( Topamax sprinkles ) that are supposed to help, but don't. She is also taking Keppra, that doesn't help either.

Check with your pediatrician if melatonin may work. For many it does, a lot of parents have told me. For my son who is 5 now it seemed to work at first but after awhile he seemed to break through and actually was hyper through the nigh. We stopped it.

We've done the aromatherapy with deep tissue massage like both her neuro and therapist suggested to no avail. White noise used to work as a baby, but now it's almost like it causes her pain. The ketogenic diet was a major fail. It didn't seem to help her in any way at all. And her neuro and ped instructed us to stop, and go back to her regular diet.

Have you tried massage with aromatherapy with lavender, white noise? Have you tried a ketogenic diet on her?
