Hi,
My son who is 3 and I just weaned (child and mother lead) at the start of this month. Lately I've been having trouble falling asleep and often wake up early. At first I thought it was because I have been on a sleep schedule more then normal and though I ruined my schedule by sleeping in a few days. But I'm wondering if it is a hormonal change resulting in longer lactating? Is it possible to be sleepless from weaning even though it was so gradual? If so, any idea how long this can last or how to get through it? I'm feeling pretty tired even though my son is sleeping wonderful.
