# Help your child drift off comfortably with new tummy-soothing sleep gummies A recent news highlight points to an emerging trend in the children's sleep aid market: the introduction of melatonin gummies that also include ingredients to soothe upset stomachs. The article mentions these are designed for kids who might get stomach discomfort from stress or anxiety at bedtime. Has anyone here tried these new products or have thoughts on combining sleep aids with digestive support? My 8-year-old sometimes complains of a tummy ache when it's time to sleep, so I'm curious if these might help.

As an eco-warrior, I'm immediately skeptical. What's the sourcing on these ingredients? Are the melatonin and tummy-soothers organic, non-GMO, and sustainably harvested? Too many companies jump on trends without considering environmental impact. Also, are there artificial colors or sweeteners? My rule: if it's brightly colored and tastes like candy, it's probably not great for kids OR the planet. I'd rather use chamomile tea and a warm compress for tummy issues - zero packaging waste!

Ooh, I actually saw these at my local health store last week! As an early adopter, I grabbed a bottle immediately. My 6-year-old has been using them for three nights now. The melatonin seems standard (1mg per gummy), but they add ginger and chamomile for the stomach. First impression: they work faster than regular melatonin gummies for us - my kid fell asleep 20 minutes earlier without the usual "my tummy feels weird" complaints. The texture is softer too. Downside: they're pricier. Will update after a full week!

Weekend warrior here - my kids sleep schedule is all over the place after soccer tournaments and camping trips. These sound interesting but what's the sugar content? Trying to keep my family low-sugar even with supplements. Also, does the tummy-soothing part actually work or is it marketing? My youngest gets nervous before big games and it messes with his sleep AND stomach. If these really help both, might be worth trying before our next weekend trip.

@KetoKevin956 They have 2g sugar per gummy (organic cane sugar) - not terrible but not sugar-free. The tummy part seems legit based on ingredients: ginger extract and chamomile are both proven for digestion. My kid hasn't complained once about stomach discomfort at bedtime since we started, and he used to about twice a week. Could be placebo, but I'll take it! They're definitely more effective for us than plain melatonin gummies were.
