Thanks everyone for the well wishes and warm welcome 🙂

Alideal, thanks for the advice on meds, yep I am steering clear of sleeping pills. I'll keep an eye out for the Rescue Drops too. At the moment trying Swisse Sleep which seem OK. It time will tell.

Martin yep I've seen my doctor a few times about my sleeping. She was mainly worried I had post natal depression so referred me to the Psych who diagnosed mild anxiety but sleep being the main problem. So had a few sessions with her which helped a bit. We agreed to avoid meds, not least because at the time I was breast feeding and couldn't take anything. Funnily enough my doctor told me that 5hrs sleep is more than most new parents get and I should be happy. So I try suck it up but at the same time I know there's a difference between insomnia and baby caused sleep deprivation. It's probably a bit of both at the moment.

Jane good advice and maybe I'm putting too much pressure on achieving good sleep when it still is early days. And yes I only do housework when I'm well rested 🙂
