just wanted you to know you're not alone!!
ds is 13 weeks today and we still do a night feed too. my issues have been waiting for him to be HUNGRY before feeding him (i think he wakes out of habit before he's really hungry--and there's nothing more aggrivating than putting a baby to the breast in the middle of the night and having him suck three times and fall asleep  :o )
i think i'm going to start a DF and see if that works. normally our nighttime schedule is bed 6:30/eat 12:30/eat 3:30/awake 6:30-7:30. i'll try a DF at 10:30 and see if i can maybe get up only once at night!!!
i'm exhausted at this point and can't WAIT to get a good long stretch of sleep (my record is 5 hours--some nights i debate going to bed at 7 just so i can get a long stretch!)

but i DO believe that some day he will sleep through :)
