8 weeks postpartum and I have insomnia

Tash • Registered Dental Hygienist, Mom of 3

What gives!? My baby does not sleep through the night at all. I will get 4 hours sleep if I’m lucky on any given night. But all of a sudden I have insomnia! I’ve Been up the last hour and a half for no reason whatsoever. My baby is sleeping and I can’t sleep 😴😭

I would take a sleep aid but it’d be disastrous. I’m afraid I’d be non responsive if my baby needed me. I’d be over tired by morning from getting up multiple times to tend to the baby.

Anyone else have this insomnia problem?
