At 7 months old my daughter was still nursing every 2 hours and she was more than heavy enough to make it through the night. I was the one who could not handle it anymore so I sought advice. I used the Ferber method (http://www.amazon.com/Solve-Your-Childs-Sleep-Problems/dp...) to help her not need to nurse so frequently during the night. It took about 3 weeks and we were able to sleep from 11 to 5: heaven! This book also has advice about other sleep issue that might come up later, as well as sleep walking and sleep terror information. A good book to have handy. But if you need or want to co-sleep to get rest, that is just fine as well. And remember, you have to be happy, well rested and healthy to be able to care for him.
