AceShowbiz - Meghan King Edmonds isn't here for people criticizing her parenting skills. "The Real Housewives of Orange County" alum has recently come under fire for letting her 3-year-old daughter, Aspen, take a melatonin gummy, and she has since hit back at them.

It all started after Meghan took to Instagram Stories over the weekend to share a photo of the little girl sleeping soundly. She explained in the caption, "This angel found a melatonin gummy in mama's purse leftover from our flight. (That was 2 hours ago)." Many didn't take the post well, criticizing the reality TV star for giving the sleeping aid to her daughter.

However, Meghan wasn't feeling sorry at all over what she did. Instead, she couldn't believe that people deemed her action problematic so she released a lengthy statement to PEOPLE to "give a full explanation to this silliness." The estranged wife of Jim Edmonds assured that the melatonin gummy she gave her daughter was age-appropriate, "not a sleeping pill and certainly not for an adult. It is completely safe."

She elaborated, "Aspen found the one little gummy in a little baggie while rummaging through my purse. She asked me is she could have it and since it was nap time I told her 'Yes.' In fact, the recommended dosage for this particular brand of melatonin for kids is 2 gummies and I let her have one." However, the girl still fell asleep.

Meghan also stressed that her daughter was "fully supervised" during that time and only took the gummy with her "express permission." She added, "The post was cheekier because it's Instagram that's what social media is about: a glimpse into our lives not usually the full story. But, since the parent police are out in full force, I've felt compelled to give a full explanation into this silliness."
