Is this a growth spurt ?
DD has been very settled and happily gone 3/4 hours in the night whilst co sleeping with us. We have been trying to get her into cot which she did happily for couple of nights.
However we have had two terrible nights with her feeding every 1.5 / 2 hours.
Should i bring her back into our bed or is this just a short term thing linked to growth spurt.
Any advice much appreciated

Do whatever suits you, could be a growth spurt but may be just a pattern that she is in. Both my dds feed 2 hourly day and night but particularly at night until they were weaned. I had buckets of milk and enormous tits for the whole time and never ran out of milk. God it's hard but if you can and want to perserve because it is a wonderful time and a great way to bond. It will come to an end all too soon. If you can co-sleep as then you don't have to do too much to get them to latch on in the middle of the night. Some times I'd wake up to find my nipple under attack and not from my dh!! Good luck
