When we brought our daughter home we were told to give her 3 hourly feeds because she was a little jaundice and in my head I'm thinking "when do I sleep?" but you do it. When I went back to my doctor I asked him if I should wake her for her feed he's like "hell no". Of course it makes sense not to but no one tells you that.
BC (before child) you tend to but things off to another time because you can but when you're a parent it doesn't matter how tired you are if it's for your kid you get it done.
