The mother's need to breastfeed is equal to the infant's need to be breastfed.
This is a partnership not a one way street. In the first few weeks and days
the partners may need to work out their rhythm with both compromising a
little to achieve the necessary synchronicity.
In some cases that means one will wake the other. It might be the mother
or it might be the infant.
(assuming an otherwise healthy mother and a healthy, full term, growing
infant)
