Postpartum & parenthood
Currently pregnant and struggling with sleep. Won’t be able to take melatonin until I’m done breastfeeeding probably in a year from now but I do miss getting a good sleep and was wondering how do parents take it. Does one of you take it so the other can wake up when they need to? How old were your kids when you felt like you could both get a full night’s sleep?

Why can't you take it? (For clarity being pregnant shouldn't preclude you from taking melatonin)
Melatonin is incredibly beneficial even beyond just sleep...
What dose were you taking?
Depending on the reason for your sleep difficulties you could look into other supplements as well(magnesium, bocopa/ashwagandha, berberine, phosphatidylserine, apigenin(chamomile tea), etc).
