Interesting for all but extended breastfeeders who co sleep particularly check out the last study, your baby is displaying normal, natural behaviour x

Thanks for sharing. My lo started waking more often recently and wants a boobie. It's nice to have some reassurance.

It is hard and some days/nights can be full of doubt as it's not mainstream to do it and there's little info about it x

That's true. Even my pro bf DH started mentioning formula in hope for some better night's sleep!

Thanks for that my 18month old just wants to sleep in our bed and breastfeed ALL night.its good to know that it's normal

Um I am appalled at the 35% of parents who smacked their. 25-28 mo olds to get them to stop waking!?!!

its always comforting to remind myself of articles like this when feeling particularly tired. Also that my older 2 children who were not breastfed this long or co sleeping at this age still woke through the night, one until the month he turned 2 the other nearly 3. So I remind myself that even if he wasnt breatsfeeding and bed-sharing he would still be waking and probably be harder to settle off to sleep.

lol, it might be normal and natural, but it's bloody annoying as well. In the end I night weaned my two eldest at about 16 months so I could get some decent sleep.
