There's such a wide variation in nursing lengths. It's so nice that my

dd is finally getting older, because she just nurses once on each

side, and then goes to sleep for the rest of the night. Sometimes she

wakes up early in the morning and wants to nurse, but I've been

successful in persuading her to nestle in my arms and wait till later.

She used to be such a frequent nurser and night-waker, I got the worst

sleep. Now I can actually write e-mail and do other things at night,

although I probably should be getting to bed soon.
