Insomnia in babies: should you be concerned?

Your newborn's insomnia can be as exhausting for them as it is for you, so when should you start worrying about it?

  • Frequent waking is natural for infants: their sleep/wake cycle is very different from that of an adult.
  • Before the age of six months, it's hard to talk about sleep problems unless your baby doesn't sleep for more than 15 minutes at a time.
  • After six months of age, insomnia can take many forms: difficulty falling asleep, night terrors or multiple awakenings during the night can be good reasons to consult your pediatrician.

I'm depressed because I don't have the energy to do anything. It sucks...before I was pregnant I was working out almost everyday. Once I started getting symptoms (around 3 months) I've slowed down due to nausea, vomiting, body pains, anxiety, insomnia....ect.. I can go on but I won't. The baby is healthy but my body is tired. I miss my energy and feel guilty with my family for being so tired. I need some energy people... #venting #tiredandcranky #nervous
