Lydders is asleep. Today before her nap this morning I let her say goodnight to Merky and to a picture of Jeff. I held up the pic and said "say good night to Daddy!" and she did-then she slept for almost 2 hours. I did the same thing this afternoon and lets hope it works. She also really likes the Celtic Lullabies. As soon as I turn it on she calms

i'd be interested to know how the valerian works, i've taken in some tea to help k sleep and i did feel sleepy, although there were a lot of other things in the tea too.

I figure since you are nursing too it might be good info for you. I plan on taking only about 400 mg (600 to 900 is about the normal dosage) along with about 6 mg of melatonin (which at this point as shown no ill effects in her). I've used it before, but I have never had sleep problems like I do now lol, and I also used it with my nephew who was 5 at the time and he had sleep issues. It was hell trying to get him to take it though because it is rather smelly.

We'll have to see if it effects my breastmilk. Hell, maybe it will encourage her to wean from night feedings lol.
