Make his routine .Fix time for meals and play.For further consultation book an appointment
Hey
i can understand your concern but it seems to be normal. we dont recommend oral mel drops (melatonin) in a healthy child with no underlying cause of insomnia. Dont give him ora mel drops for now amd for detailed checkup, plz book an appointment.
Yes you can give 2drops daily but at night not at day time for about 4 weeks just to make his sleep routine normal

It is normal process, no need of any medication.
Give Healthy food & allow him to Play, when he tired, then he sleep.
Don't give him Sedative medication.
Still problem, then appointment for Consultation.
