Post-partum insomnia?

[jags8]

Yep I've been up since 4:00. I often wake even though DS was still sleeping. I think it's just nature's way of being like "hey it's been a few hours, you should maybe check on your kid and feed him."

I have not found anything to help.

My sympathies. I'm dealing with the same problem right now too, and nothing is helping and I go back to work Monday.

This exactly.

Me too. Maybe get better with time? That's what I'm hoping for anyway. Like, the longer DS sleeps through the night the more my body will be like , it's cool, he's fine, keep sleeping!

I feel your pain. This happens to me most nights too. And as soon as I fall back asleep the baby normally wakes up. At this point I've given up and nap as much as possible.

I have been dealing with this too. I think it also has to do with the stress of going back to work (for me at least). Just can't turn my brain off. It sucks. Hopefully it gets better for all of us soon!

Sane exact problem! I assumed it was because I'd started on an anxiety med that I take before bed.

Grrrrr DS woke up at 2:00 and nursed for 10 minutes. He went right back to sleep. As for me? It's now 4:00 and no sign of sleep.
