heidi one of mine breastfed frequently overnight although for him it wasn't a stage it was just him. he basically breastfed 2 hourly for 24 hours a day until he was about 3 ... very tiring but now he is 8 i am so glad i did it cos he really needed that and could have become a very anxious kid but thanks to me listening to his needs he is a happy well adjusted child. my other 2 had periods of frequent feeding over night but usually just when they were/are teething. honestly, i find co-sleeping a life saver, i really don't think i would survive if i had to wake up to feed. i just sort of roll over in my sleep and thats it. i have no idea how much oscar feeds at night cos i just don't wake up for it. keep up the good work it really is worth it. i have found that by allowing my older 2 to self wean when they were ready Josh at 2 1/2 and zak at nearly 4 they are very confident, happy well adjust kids that are compassionate and caring. i really love breastfeeding but i don't think that i do it for me, if oscar was weaned he would have to have cows milk still so i just give him human milk happy feeding
