LOL...I must guess that I must have it VERY VERY easy, because although
my DD nurses at night several times, she has not woken more than 3 times
@ night in the months/weeks since she was 3 weeks old (she is now just
about 11 months old).  I wake up just barely enough to make sure she
latches ok (and also get my top denuded for her!), and then go back to
sleep before I even have my letdown.  I barely remember waking the next
morning, and most certainly can't tell you how many times it happened.
I only stay awake if I myself need something (drink, bathroom trip), so
I stay awake until after she's finnished and then go do what I have to
do.  DD sleeps usually from about 9-10 pm until around 9-10 am, naps
once (rarely twice) a day.  On occasion she has gone all day long
without a nap, goes to bed earlier (i.e. 7 pm) and sleeps 14 hrs.  She's
had a similar sleep schedule since she was about 5 months old.
