Have you tried co-sleeping? It *might* make the wakeups quicker.
Should have said - we tried co-sleeping from the start. Little Miss couldn't even fall asleep sleeping with us - I guess we disturb her too much! She likes her own space. (She hated being in a sling too! So much for attachment parenting!)
In the morning, she comes into my bed for a BF, but won't fall asleep there with me.

She also naps while being BFed... and will ONLY nap while being BFed. She finished feeding and will nap on my lap, but if I try and put her down..... nuh. So I really don't get a break, literally! Not even at naptime. I forget that "normal" babies nap in cots during the day!
