I would like some opinions on breastfeeding at night. In the beginning I was sitting up to BF my 4 month old during the night. As time has gone on it has become easier for me to BF laying down and we both fall asleep whilst he is feeding. The problem that I am having is that he has now started to wake up and cry when the nipple is out of his mouth and will fall to sleep again when I put it back in. We are now waking multiple times per night and as he was already a 3 hour waker during the night it has become somewhat problematic. We sometimes co-sleep, sometimes bassinette by our bed and over the last couple of nights he has woke from a dead sleep and screamed as soon as I have tried to put him back into his own bed. I fear that I have created some problems for myself and his night sleep patterns are going out of control.

Has anyone been through a similar situation or have any advice?
