Also note* that if you're pregnant or breastfeeding, it's safest to stay away from herbal remedies and over-the-counter sleep aids unless you have a specific go-ahead from your doctor.
In which case, I would like to offer a soothing remedy that may help.

"Tea made from mint leaves is safe for both pregnant and breastfeeding and makes one feel calm and sleepy. If you are breastfeeding try tea from anise seeds (just add boiled water to 1 tsp), it also helps with milk supply."

Take care & Good luck...
