Caution advised: with any anxiolytic / soporific while breast feeding, some are safer than others, but still have to exercise caution, better work with your doctor, you will need a prescription anyways, take care

Breastfeeding & meds: First, thank you so much for your wonderful dedication to breastfeeding, you and your baby will benefit forever! Insomnia long term may best be treated with Cognitive Behavioral Treatment for Insomnia. and for anxiety I most recommend seeing a Psychologist expert in treating anxiety disorders. We role model everything for our children, so resolving the source of anxiety(EMDR Therapy) can best help
