SLEEP! Been there. All I can say is the longer you are without sleep, the more worse it'll become. Some pills will keep you awake than sleep. Either, go to a doctor, getting the urge ... call a 24hrs crisis line. I'm sorry, but Insomia was a big problem for me and it wasn't nice. So, please with all the other brain things and sorts going on, we don't need sleep adding on strange thinkings. All I can suggest for now ... is one technique: Lay down, close your eyes. Concentrate and from head to toe tense and slowly relax every part of your body with deep breathing. Eyes; Cheeks; Arms; Hands; Body; and down to toes .. until your body is relax. Only concentrate on your body and breathing. Good luck!

My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
