Thanks everyone... it's good to know it's not unusual for a baby this age to still be waking so frequently at night. Not many of my friends parent this way, and they think I'm totally crazy. Not to mention my GP and psychiatrist. EVERYONE is telling me that she SHOULD be sleeping through in her own bed. There are so many SHOULDS out there!
I think I will try taking her off the breast sooner than I normally would after she wakes each time to see if I can comfort her with a quick sip instead of the whole milkshake. I have tried the patting thing, and she does use a dummy, but nothing seems to be quite the same as Mummy's warm snuggly milk bar. Speaking of which, she BIT me tonight!!!
