Any Other Moms Dealing With Postpartum Insomnia?

Mine went on for about 2 weeks postpartum. I had a lot of adrenaline the first six days or so and then just thought I didn’t need to sleep when the baby slept but then it caught up with me. I should have slept when the baby slept and just dealt with the nights. I am 4 months pp now and don’t have too much trouble sleeping but now my little one wants to sleep though I keep waking around 3am in a panic as that’s when she used to wake.

I’ve taken a small dose of melatonin a few times and that helps but do your own research on that and if you’re happy (if you are) to breastfeed and take it.

The anxious thoughts haven’t stopped though. Now I’m able to sleep a bit more they are becoming anxious dreams of someone stealing my baby.

I had the same thing for weeks, after my boy was born, I really struggled with post partum insomnia, I found that asmr really helped me with my insomnia

I had terrible insomnia and night terrors related to my baby dying in terrible ways every night for months. It was the worst thing ever. Hopefully it goes away quicker for you! On those nights where I just couldn’t fall asleep I’d put on YouTube videos of space or history channels to fall asleep to. Something just slightly interesting but also boring and repetitive so I can just listen to it if I close my eyes. Helps take my mind off the baby so I can get some sleep
