[QUOTE=Beckibee]Maddy is exactly like Trish's Tehya....she sleeps an initial 4-6hrs then wants a feed/comfort suck that only last about 10mins before she drifts off to sleep. Then she basically wakes every 1.5-2hrs for comfort sucks. After her big patch of sleep which is generally in her cot; she spends the rest of the night with us in bed. I don't think I could cope getting up out of bed every 90mins to feed her for 5mins and then put her back to sleep. Plus, she seems to love snuggling in next to Mummy's boobies for a sleep.

That is Maggie to a "T" most nights. Co sleeping is what saved me when she stopped sleeping through. DH is fine with it luckily. Actually as the weather is getting colder I do prefer it, that way I don't have to worry about her getting cold.
Mine is 13 months and still feeds 2 hourly day and night because shes quite simply hungry. She started to sleep through when she was little but once she hit a big growth spurt at 2.5 months it ended. Since then shes either been in a growthspurt, milestone or teething. Its just the way she is, she always reached her milestones early and is very healthy and happy so I don't care. Shes on the chubby side but whenever we are at a playground or meet other babies her age shes also ALOT taller and even taller then 2 year olds *shrug*
Initially I had her cot beside my bed and tried putting her back in there asleep each time to avoid co-sleeping but it was just too hard so I gave in to it and it made it so much easier. Unless I have a really late night or shes waking up real bad because shes sick or teething her molars I cope really well now as I am used to it. Last night from what I can remember it seems she slept right through to 4:30am and I was wide eyed awake and out of bed at 5am because of it lol
I enjoy it now, I have an expensive boori cot and quilt/sheet sets etc... thats only been used for just hours but whatever aslong as shes happy so am I! Maybe if I have another, he or she will get use out of it hehe
