Why We Created OZzzz’s: A Mother’s Story
Darcy Osborne: Mother, RN, Creator of OZzzz's Sleep Aid for Children
We gave birth to our second child and it was a boy. Everything seemed to go perfectly in the delivery. We finally had the American dream: a boy and a girl. We brought our baby boy home and things began to change. He was completely different from my daughter, from inconsolable crying to not being able to lie down for more than thirty minutes at a time. I often kept telling myself that this is a phase and will soon end; however, this became our life and my whole family was exhausted.
When he was three years old, I decided to finally sit down and talk to my pediatrician. He had improved on the screaming during the night but was still waking up anywhere from two to nine times in the night. Now during the day, he would have tantrum after tantrum. I was still exhausted and sick of people staring at me wanting me to have some control over my son. I felt like a horrible mother that had no control over her life. I was determined to figure out what was wrong with my son. Why was he not sleeping? Did he have something wrong with him and he could not communicate to us what was hurting him?
I expressed all these concerns with our pediatrician and she, too wanted to get to the bottom of this. After a trail of tests, we discovered he had a sleeping disorder. Through this process, our pediatrician recommended trying melatonin. This is how we got to this point in our lives.
As a RN who works nights, I realize how important a good night’s rest is. Also as a RN, I know the effects on your body from continually not getting enough sleep. My son was not getting this. I was focused on coming up with a formula that was in a child friendly version. Working closely with an experienced pediatrician and a FDA GMP certified lab that tests all raw materials for quality and purity, we came up with OZzzz’s. We learned that most nutraceutical products and dietary supplements only follow the minimum manufacturing standards required by the FDA, but we insisted that OZzzz’s Sleep Aid for Children be manufactured in a GMP certified pharmaceutical facility. Since we would be giving this to our own children and other parents would be using OZzzz’s on their children, quality and safety was our highest concern.
OZzzz's Sleep Aid For Children
The first dose my son fell asleep within thirty minutes and slept the entire night. He woke up in a great mood and remained that way the entire day. As a mother, I could not have asked for anything else. Within the first week we noticed such a difference in our son that we knew we had to get our story out.
