We are still feeding overnight, multiple times although I couldn't really tell you how many because I make it my business not to know lol. She is attached a lot at the moment but I remember DD1 going through this phase as well so am just riding the wave. We co-sleep and I guess I'm pretty used to it (DD1 started sleeping through about a month before DD2 arrived) so doesn't seem to worry me much. I don't really expect it to stop for another year or so because that was my experience with DD1. She co-slept in my bed till around 2 when she moved to her own bed in our room where she seemed to settled into a consistent once a night feed. She then started sleeping through around 2yrs 9mo (fed to sleep for another 6mo after that till weaning so that didn't affect night wakings here) and we moved her into her own room just after DD2 arrived, her choice - she wanted out because DD2 was disturbing her haha plus loved having her own space with her name on the door. She hasn't really woken in the night since (a handful of times because she wet the bed or for a drink but that is DPs job now) and has never fought sleep ever so it worked out well although it was a commitment. Planning to do similar with DD2 so will move her into her own bed (room for me to crash in should she need me more than expected) in our room when she is waking less frequently then in with her sister when she starts sleeping through. I don't feel too tired although I'm now up to almost 4yrs (DD1s birthday in 2 weeks) with interrupted sleep bar that few weeks between the girls. DP lets me sleep in while he gets up with the girls each morning which I think makes all the difference if that is an option?
