Hey, if you know that nursing helped you before and it'd be so easy to start again, why not?!? If she or you don't take well to restarting, then you can always stop. I hope that the B6/Unisom is helpful. Have you been taking the B6 prior to now so that it could build up in your system?
Many Moms of toddlers have kind of barricaded themselves in. Videos, snacks and drinks at hand for you and tot, books and toys, etc. A safe place where you can block yourselves in and you know if you snooze they might make a mess, but they will not be hurt. I couldn't watch my 1st whilst pg w/ my 2nd for 6 wks. I can understand how hard it is. Luckly he doesn't remember a thing now, and the effects of my absence was short term (and he has this great sister he loves to pick on out of the whole thing!).
It will all work out. Try to stay hydrated and eating as best you can. Small frequent meals and snacks, try liquids separate, sometimes that can help the nausea. 1/2 an hour between liquids and solids.
There is a sticky post all about B6/Unisom/Zofran that would be helpful for you to read if you haven't already. Lots of useful info in how these meds work best.
