#tbt One from the Archive: To sleep: perchance to dream? To sleep: perchance to sleep, please....!

(First published on The Contented Calf website on Tuesday 12th February 2013. With a three year old and a 10 month old in tow, sleep was always on my mind....) To be honest, all I really want to do when I go to sleep is sleep. For the whole night. And wake up naturally. If I could do this for a whole seven nights in a row, I would be in heaven. I would be a new woman. This morning however when the alarm went off at 6:45am I was a tiny bit less tired than I often am. I think...

(First published on The Contented Calf Website on Tuesday 2nd Apri 2013. Seven years ago, when the world was very different.)    Within minutes of being born our first daughter latched on to feed beautifully.

(Until teeth and biting become an issue that is!) In fact, as a newborn, 3YO’s latch was so good, when I had to go...
