I have a 16 month old and have had a bereavement in last year plus relocation/house move and in temporary accommodation. I'm really struggling with sleep. Last few nights only managed a couple of hours and tonight still awake at 3am with a baby that wakes at 5am. I just can't switch off.
I had a bad bout of insomnia when baby was 6 months just after the bereavement but had counselling and my son started to sleep better and it just eased on its own. Now it's back.
I can feel myself deteriorating physically and mentally.
Going to ring Gp tomorrow but concerned they won't offer medication as I'm still breastfeeding.
Anyone experience similar. What have you found helpful?
