HI,
I understand your concern.
To have at least 8 hours good sleep is essential in pregnancy. THere are two ways how you can manage and have sleep
- Try to change sleeping cycle of your little daughter. keep her busy with different activities in afternoon.so that she sleeps well in night.
In the night, put the lights off, do not play,nor encourage her to play. Try to sleep silently by her side. The child will try to cry/ shout to draw your attention .. do not respond. Ultimately, the child will play alone for some time & fall asleep. This will a sound sleep because of exhaustion with whole day play.
- You can try sleeping with help of a yoganidra audio CD.in afternoon.
Avoid taking sleeping pills.
Thanks.
