    I'm not sure if it's an option, but we put our DD's cot directly next to our bed, with the side off so she was sleeping abit further away from me. (We had the cot against the wall, the side next to our bed off, then our bed right against the cot) that way if/when she woke i still had easy access and didn't have to get up to feed her, etc. it seemed to work in that i think she couldn't smell the milk as much so it didn't wake her, and i wasn't right against her when she fell asleep, ITMS? she was next to me, but not against me, so i wasn't waking her when i moved during the night, or she wasn't startled when she woke and wasn't against me, and the smell of my milk wasn't waking her as much.

    It does get better. I would bed share if that is easier on you - just do whatever works best to get you through this time.
