For us, DD would cry when it was sleep time and be really hard to settle. She would also only sleep for 30 mins at a time in the day, and wake about 2 hourly overnight. it lasted a couple of weeks. The same thing happened at 8 months.

I always feed to sleep and co-sleep during those phases (and at many other times too). It has never caused a 'problem'...i.e. DD went back to self settling and cot sleeping and long stretches of sleep when she was ready. that being said, she still hasn't slept through the night and still wants at least 2 feeds overnight.

I am just running with it atm. I know I can gently massage her patterns if I need to...but I am loving the all night cuddles atm while she cuts 4 teeth...
