Night Feeds: 5 Signs You Need More Sleep

5. You wake up from a side-lying nursing position to find your baby suckling. Judging by the clock, you had dozed off for the past one hour. You have no idea how long baby has been suckling.
4. Mid-feed, you nod off and almost fall onto your husband, who is sleeping blissfully next to you.
3. You suddenly wake up and realise that your baby is asleep on your lap.
2. You are awoken by your baby's cries and realise she had been sleeping beside you. You have no recollection of placing her there.

And the Number One sign you need more sleep:

1. You are awoken by your baby's cries and realise she had been sleeping beside you, your husband awake and trying to calm her. You have no recollection of placing her there. Thinking she is hungry, you try and nurse her. This persuades your husband to sheepishly admit that he had inadvertently squashed her as he was turning in his sleep.

You had placed your baby squarely between you and your husband, instead of by the side of the bed and next to you. :/
