Melbourne mum of 11 surviving on four hours of broken sleep

A Melbourne couple have their work cut out for them, feeding and clothing 11 children in their three-bedroom home.

In one week, Teagan and Mickey Kent spend $700 in groceries, go through ten loaves of bread and 14 loads of washing to keep the family afloat during the cost of living crisis.

And with just one bathroom and three bedrooms between the pack, getting everyone ready for school in the morning can get hectic, Teagan told Today.

"The older ones wake up a bit earlier now to get ready for school, so there's a bit more time in the bathroom for them, then everybody just sort of files in and have a quick two-minute break in the bathroom before they're out and the next one goes in," Teagan said.

With her eldest 14 and her youngest 22 months, Teagan has been pregnant for seven and a half of the past 15 years.

And she said she has learned to survive on very little sleep.

"I think it's about four hours of broken sleep a night," she said.

"If I get anymore than that, it's a bonus."
