you have to understand that women body needs adequate rest,its not only the healthy food. if one is not able to take adequate rest, no healthy body can function properly..you have to understand that to maintain a healthy diet along with stress free environment around you n your baby, is a must..
yes, staying alone with no help is stressful but then i think now that you have entered motherhood,,welcome ! dear,,your responsibilties all together will just keep adding !!!!
mother has given you good tips,,babies suck fingers due to lack of proper feeds and other is anxiety...keep her near to you as often as you can, whenver she does that, talk to her, feed her,,relax her hands by opening up the fist and she will remove her thumb from her mouth,,make her wear baby cloth mittens, often this prevents baby from putting the finger in her mouth !!
if getting a good rest is not in your schedule, then atleast keep a good music and relax yourself..sometimes such music or ne fav songs may just refresh you,,and thats just wat you need..take a good shower/pref hot or warm next to hot,,and it will relieve your body pains or tiredness..
before sleeping,,give a good massage to your legs and back,with your own hands with a lil/couple drops of Eucalyptus oil mixed with ne good edible oil(i pref almond oil)..its a great stress reliever !
good luck

mother replied. Hi Kwazi
I have been through the same thing with my baby. I am still not able to take complete rest and that is leading to less milk. I give my baby formula milk for few feeds. I would suggest that you give her top up feeds (offer her formula milk if you are not making enough milk or expressed milk in a bottle) this way she can have her complete feed and will not be hungry.
2) Here are few links. Hetal has written a lot about it. I have tried to implement it but seems as i am not resting enough these tips are not helping me.

3) try to give her bath and mesasge before bed time it will take you few days but then they start sleeping.
4) she is sucking her hand because she is hungry and not getting her full feed. ( It was true in my case...)
These are just few suggestions from my side which i have read and implemented myself.
Hope it helps
good luck and keep us updated.
