I was wondering if anyone had any tips for trouble sleeping? It is starting to get beyond a joke... my mind is racing and it is taking forever to fall asleep. After getting up to feed bubs it can sometimes take me hours to fall back asleep, and then she wakes again.

I don't want to resort to medication, but there must be something else I can do? I can't even make up for lost sleep during the day, as it is even more impossible. I am averaging four hours max a night of broken sleep. I used to be an 8 hours girl, so this is killing me.

I have started drinking a glass or two of white wine at night which seems to help me relax, but at this rate I'll be soon drinking a bottle a night just to sleep! Am thinking of starting yoga to help with slow breathing etc, I live in the country so there isn't a huge range of things I might otherwise try, like meditation etc.

My mum is a chronic insomniac and cannot sleep as she is a worrier, and I am really thinking I am headed down that path of needing to take a sleeping tablet each night.

I lay in bed thinking of the most stupid irelevant things and worrying about when baby will wake etc.

Anyone else had this with a new baby, and did it pass?
