Screaming tantrums in the night

[bubno.3]

I just have to TAKE MY HAT off to all you mums that BF and still up 2-3 times a night ...how do you function the following day on a daily basis for up to 20 months wow... Then at 20 months asking to have up to 3 hours of straight sleep wow again!!

Now im not trying to bignote myself here as i honestly thought this was the norm but obviously all children are different:

I have a 20 month old and he is in bed (cot)at 7 pm now had 2 bottles yes 2 (he is a growing boy and no it isnt an every night thing with 2 bottles) and has fallen asleep and i can pretty well guarentee (sp?) he will either stir at 3 45am and go back to sleep or will wake and want a bottle.... but thats it . My 4 yr old can be the up down child all night long but again he hasnt done that for ages.

And if i get an odd unsettled night im cactus in the morning and am a grumpy mum so hense how to you survive ??
