Can't Sleep....still

Gosh, I really want to be sleeping...I am tired, I am yawning..I just can't sleep. Something has got to give or else I am going to get myself sick here. Any suggestions on natural sleep methods that are conducive with breastfeeding?? I can use all the help I can get.

So sorry to hear of your insomnia! I know it sucks! Why don't you go to Sprouts and get some Valerian root tincture. You can put drops in your warm bath and that may help. They may also be able to offer more suggestions. They are pretty knowledgable. Also, Chamomile tea might be helpful. I find if I have worries, or a list of things I need to get done, if I write them down while in bed and he helps to clear my mind a bit. Hope rest finds you soon.

I take Valerian root every night before I go to sleep. It relaxes my mind. If not, I am kept awake by racing thoughts or music running through my head. I don't know if it's safe for nursing mommies, though. I suggested it for my pregnant friend and then read up on it and it said it is not for preggo women.
