Ruth_Baldock Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 Hi folks,I'm going through a bit of a stressful time at the moment, but to my chagrin I can't take Kalms like I normally do as I am BF. I was up for about 5 hours last night because I was anxious and couldn't sleep, not doing that again.Is there anything over the counter which would be suitable? Is rescue remedy any good?

GinaG3 Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 I would try rescue remedy, thats safe to take and is safe for babies to take too. I used this in the first weeks of breastfeeding and had no problems whatsoever. The do a sleep one too, instead of the yellow label is purple. You may want to try that also.Hope you can get a better night sleep :) Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/13425-kalms-alternative-when-breastfeeding/#findComment-364008 Share on other sites More sharing options...

bubblensqueek Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 its practically full moon ladies...I had a bad one too...you could try listening to a CD or track which helps to relax the mind. I find that the ultimate deep sleep recorded by a hypnotherapist does wonders. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Ultimate-Deep-Sleep-Lorraine-Ireland/dp/0954971914.

elsie tea Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 I have always found reflexology helpful in dealing with these kind of sleep problems. After my second and third children, I went to a wonderful reflexology therapist (very different from the beauty salon variety) called Katie Sedgwick. She is based in East Dulwich and specialises in maternity and post natal treatments and is very soothing. Here's her website Katie Sedgwick There are lots of recommendations for her on the forum, too.Best of luck. It's hard when you don't get enough sleep.
