SLEEP has never been so appealing – probably because I now no longer decide when I will put my head down, or how long it will last. That decision has been deferred to our six-week-old baby, whose idea of a lie in appears to be approximately 3.15am. And once she’s awake, we’re all awake! One minute she’s a slumbering bundle of sweetness and light, the next a screaming blur of arms and legs. She can also go from silent to an ear-piercing 130 decibels (the same as a military jet taking off from an aircraft carrier) in 0.2 seconds. My partner is breast-feeding our little one and has been since...
