Answer 1

first, you need to get the baby on schedule. 9-12 needs to change to 8 or 9. if the baby cries, just let her cry. you have to be healthy, to keep your baby healthy. make sure you don't take naps past 3 pm, and try not to take any at all. once the baby goes to bed, you go to bed by 10. don't eat or exercise 2 hours before you go to sleep. a glass of warm milk will help as well. also, exercise atleast 30 minutes a day, whether it be walking or jumping jacks, whatever. find a hobby to keep you busy during the day, maybe working with your baby. decrease your caffeine and sugar intake as well. also, you may want to pay a visit to your doctor to see if maybe you have some anxiety or something. I've dealt with sleeping problems for some time and found out i was having anxiety. i got on medicine and i sleep great. also, get up by 8 am. Learn to stay on this pattern and it should really help. good luck.
