From many people and friends I have heard of the problem of night-time feeds. They occur several times through the night, and interrupt your sleep immensely. But there is a piece of information missing, and that is the length of time for the actual feed.
To be woken at 1am, and then 5am sounds bad, but not necessarily awful – but you need to factor in the length of time for the feed. At the moment, the feeding takes around 20-30 minutes, but then there is the burping, and the settling down again. Burping is really down to the little ones biology, and under no ones control whatsoever.
So all in all, a feed can take up to an hour, and quite often a bit longer then you imagine.
