I tried Unisom a couple of times while breastfeeding and didn’t notice any change in my baby or my milk supply, but I only used a small dose. Have you thought about any alternative methods for sleep, like melatonin or relaxation techniques?

I tried Unisom a few times when my baby was a few months old, but I noticed my milk supply dropped a bit. It helped me sleep, but I was stressing about my supply, so I stopped using it. Just be careful with it if you go that route!
