A MUM has revealed how her baby's sleep issues almost broke up her marriage.
Nicole Ratcliffe's problems with her eldest child Sofia started right from her birth.
Complications meant the 41-yearold, from Sharston in Wythenshawe, ended up needing a C-Section, far from the natural delivery she envisioned for her first-born.
The issues continued when Sofia, now aged six, struggled with breastfeeding and they both contracted infections. But life as a new mum really took a turn for the worse when Sofia wouldn't sleep pushing Nicole and her husband to the brink of divorce.
"They tell you new-born babies sleep but mine didn't at all. Nothing was what I was told it would be," Nicole said.
She remembers one night in particular. It was 2am and her daughter had been screaming for hours.
