Safe sleep aids

Does anyone know of any safe organic sleep aids we can take preferably tea?? Insomnia is getting the best of me && I have a 15 month old who's always on the go. I normally go to sleep 11pm then up round 2-3am until about 6am, no naps or nothing. It's really getting the best of me now

I use unisom sleep tabs. I've taken them since the very beginning and I'm now 38 weeks. The active ingredient is doxylamine. Just check the box because unisom also has a kind with diphenhydramine as the active ingredient and that's just benadryl and doesn't work as well. The doxylamine is actually commonly paired with b6 for morning sickness as well. I have had barely any nausea issues since I've been taking it. It works well! I sleep a solid 8 hours with the exception of having to get up to use the bathroom and wake up easy and rested. It usually takes about 30 minutes and then I fall right asleep. Before pregnancy I was taking ambien for severe insomnia. I'm glad my ob recommended It!

Melatonin is a natural supplement. Your body naturally produces it. That is what I take and so does my son. Very safe.
