I think there are a few ladies here who have breastfed with meds. I will check into who it is. It's not my area of expertise so I do not want to give you inaccurate information.

I've been listening to audiobooks that I've listened to many, many times so they're familiar and can help lull me to sleep. I used to put on Golden Girls and fall asleep on the couch but it's just too uncomfortable anymore and sometimes I would just end up watching Golden Girls all night! If my mind is especially overactive I do some puzzles to up the distraction ante.
Best of luck. I'm not getting too much sleep either, you're not alone!
Reading definitely helps me go back to sleep. Sometimes I also get up and do some stretching exercises on the floor. I'd look into meds like the PP's suggested if you are only getting one good night a week. I know it rough with an infant, but I think it would have more benefits than risks to you.

I'm definitely going to try stretching. I have meds, but I'm nervous about taking them and breastfeeding. I'm hoping this week will be better. We consolidated a bunch of debt on Friday, so we are one step closer to me going part-time or leaving my job altogether.
I totally understand your concern with meds and breastfeeding simultaneously. I'll have to consider this myself. Have you spoken to your psych about the risk/benefit of certain meds? I know Prozac is extensively studied and known to be very safe during pregnancy and after. That is what I am taking now and hope to continue later. Not sure about my other meds, though.
