Hi,
Does anyone know of any sleep medication that is safe for breastfeeding mums?
I've been having a terrible time getting back to sleep after waking up in the middle of the night to feed or pacify my 5-month old daughter. Even when she sleeps through the night, I wake up automatically at around 2am, and cannot get back to sleep until it's nearly time to wake up again!
Worse is that the more tired I am, the more difficult it is for me to get to sleep -- it's like my mind won't stop buzzing.
The sleep deprivation is killing me and I am so exhausted during the day I can barely take care of my daughter. I asked my GP about taking sleeping pills but he said nothing was safe.
Please help! I'm on the verge of a nervous breakdown... :-(
