I remember thinking, after my pregnant wife's water broke, minutes after I went to bed, anguishing really, over one thought as we drove to the hospital: "I'm never going to be well rested again."

If there's one thing all new parents wish for, it's a good night's sleep.

So often I hear mums say, “My baby wants to breastfeed all evening – I’m worried about my milk supply.”

It’s common for young babies, especially, to cluster feed, meaning they feed very frequently, or almost continuously, over a period of a few hours. This can happen at any time of the day but is common in the evening. It can mean that as your baby feeds almost constantly, your breasts feel ‘empty’.
