Hello, thank you for your question! Unfortunately there is not enough data to suggest that this type of product is safe for use during breastfeeding. I therefore advise not to consume it while you are breastfeeding. I hope this helps, and if you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to ask! Tom Samaha, pharmacist On the face of it, I don't recommend medication for insomnia in the first place. If melatonin has not worked, I would advise discontinuing it. The most important thing is to look at non-pharmacological measures to improve sleep hygiene and quality. Here are some of them: At least 1 hour before bedtime, turn off any type of screen: computer, phone, TV, and handheld readers too. Most of them emit a type of light that is stimulating. Regardless of bedtime, I suggest getting up at the same time each day, which will help establish a sleep routine eventually. Keep the bedroom for sleeping and intimacy only. No reading, working, or watching TV in bed. This way, the body will associate the bedroom with sleep as soon as you enter it. Never look at the clock during the night as this can be a great source of stress Avoid naps during the day, and avoid stimulants like coffee as much as possible, especially in the afternoon. If you've been in bed for 15 minutes and still can't fall asleep, I suggest you get up, go to the kitchen or living room for a few minutes, and then return to the bedroom. This can have a reset effect. If you have a lot of worries, write them down in a notebook or journal at night, so you can be reassured that they won't be forgotten and that you can address them the next morning. These strategies can take up to 2 weeks to implement, so take your time, gradually, be patient and willing too. If they don't work at all, I would advise you to see a doctor. I hope I've put your mind at ease, and if you have any other questions, please don't hesitate! Tom Samaha, pharmacist
