                                Many children's sleep aids contain a low, pediatric-appropriate dose of melatonin, often around 0.3 mg, intended to supplement the body's natural sleep hormone production. These supplements frequently combine melatonin with herbal ingredients known for their calming properties to support restful sleep.
