Gentle Bedtime Gummies for Children

I just tried Zarbee's Gentle Bedtime Gummies, and let me tell you, they’re a bedtime game changer! These little raspberry lemon delights are like candy-coated hugs for my kiddo. Getting my little one to unwind used to be like herding cats, but now it’s a breeze! She chews these gummies like they’re the best thing since sliced bread, and I can practically see her turning into a sleepy fairy after just a few minutes! Plus, they’re melatonin-free, so I don’t have to worry about turning her into a zombie. Just pure, natural calmness! If you want to turn bedtime from a wrestling match into a cozy cuddle fest, grab these gummies! Five stars for making sleep time feel like a treat rather than a chore!🌙

I chose the non melatonin one because i heard it makes adhd symptoms worse in children but thats just what i heard. My 6 year old with adhd has been taking these an i have seen very fast results obviously hes not asleep in bed almost instantly but hes much calmer and will want to go to bed on his own or me to put him to bed much sooner. Obviously its going to take time to-be digested like most things taken orally so i do it immediately after dinner this is only MY child with adhd unmedicated reacting this way do not take my word for it not all children are the same. But he for a while did not want to follow a schedule and he went from a range of 9pm-1am bedtime to 9pm-11pm i absolutely love that i didnt choose the other option and i chose a much more natural and mellow method that works for us.

Tried these when we ran out of our usual gummies, but they didn't work for our son. He's 6, so the first night we gave him 1. Thirty minutes later he was still wide awake, so we gave home one more. Still took another hour to get him to sleep. Two nights in a row, same thing. Went back to our usual brand, he's out in 30 minutes.

I like that these are more of a natural approach to sleep, but they do not taste good. It’s hard to get my toddler to eat one.

My oldest has struggled with sleep since he was 3-4 (maybe younger) years old. I mean, to the point we were both in tears every night. That’s when I discovered melatonin and it worked like a charm for him. We talked to our pediatrician, and she said melatonin was fine and that sometimes kids just need the extra help. However, he is 9 now and still needs to every night (ADHD probs.) I know there is much debate about melatonin for kids and whether it is harmful or not. But I figured, if we could find something to take small breaks from melatonin or replace altogether that works, then why not? I’ve tried another brand of melatonin-free gummies and they didn’t work at the time. So, we went back to melatonin. However, I decided to give it another shot with Zarbees. I was skeptical to say the least after my last experience. However, It’s only the second night, but honestly, I’m impressed. They actually work for my kiddo. So, here is my pros & cons. Pros: - Actually worked - however, everyone’s body chemistry is different. If your kiddo doesn’t react the same way with these, try another brand with maybe some different ingredients. - I didn’t try them, but my kids didn’t complain about the taste, so I am going to assume they tasted alright. - Seem to get good sleep, uninterrupted and woke up ready for the day Cons: - Small bottle/quantity - it only comes with 30 and for ages 7+ they need 2 gummies. With this and melatonin, I always try to give half the dose and see if that works enough. The first night I only gave him one, but the 2nd night he needed 2. If you do the max dose, that’s enough for only 15 days. - Price - $12 for a bottle of 30 gummies seems a little overpriced to me. Granted, I know it’s a name brand and it works, so I am going to keep buying it. BUT you better believe if I find a cheaper option that works just as well, I will not be buying this. - I do notice that this seems to take longer to “kick in” versus melatonin. It’s not an excruciatingly long time, but definitely do it an hour before bed. Hope this helps some parents out there who struggle at bedtime ❤️

I’ve purchased these several times now, and they’ve become a staple in our bedtime routine. They’re not as powerful as melatonin, but that’s exactly what makes them perfect for kids who just need a little extra help winding down rather than something stronger. Pros: • Melatonin-free, which gives me peace of mind • Gentle but effective for relaxing before bed • Great taste — my kid actually looks forward to them • No groggy feeling the next morning • Ingredients feel clean and simple Cons: • Not as strong as melatonin (which could be a pro or con depending on your needs) • You may need consistency for best results Overall, these gummies are a perfect fit for kids who only need a mild nudge toward bedtime. Tasty, calming, and reliable — highly recommend!

Worked well to calm the kids down. Tasted great.

My son took these for a few days. There was no difference. He also was not a fan of the flavor.
