Babies: 6 - 9 Months

Safe sleep aid

Does any one have any suggestions for a sleep aid for nursing moms? I need some major help sleeping. I've been taking Simply Sleep (just Diphenhydramine) and I feel that it may be affecting my milk supply (a friend says she take Melatonin but I've read that it can also affect milk supply.) I called my doctor today but was on hold for so long that I hung up before I spoke to anyone. I read something about taking a magnesium supplement at night, was wondering about this. TIA

Re: Safe sleep aid

  • I can't sleep either. Every day I look forward to sleep and then when the time comes my body no longer knows how to unwind and sleep solidly. I wake at every peep of my two kids - my 2 year old and my almost 6 month old. See, why am I awake now at 11 am? No help just know you are not alone!
