So it's kind of redundant to ask a breastfeeding mother is her baby 'sleeps thru the night'. Why? Because chances are VERY HIGH that mommy is either sleep sharing or bed sharing with her baby while nursing. And that's exactly what we are doing... Baby used to sleep in her MommaRoo and I would get up with her every 2 hours to feed her... That was exhausting... when she got a little bigger... like around 2 months... we decided to give bed-sharing a try... after very careful consideration. I follow Dr. Sears- attachment parenting- and its glorious.
Baby 'sleeps thru the night' since day 1... because I sleep right next to her and nurse here when she schooches around looking for a drink or a snack... and she scooches and coos lightly when she has a diaper that needs to be changed... which I change right there. We have an arm's reach co-sleeper attached to the bed but she doesnt sleep in it... because she sleeps with us. I keep all of her diapers and wipes and things for her in the co-sleeper and just change her right there in bed... with a night light on.
Works for us! Lots of sleep for everyone and no hassles. Safe and good for baby.
