DD and I bed share and BF. She used to only wake up once or twice and then go back to sleep but for the last 2 weeks she has been nursing for 2-3 hours straight at night. 

 I am not sure if it is because she is nursing less during the day, stress from the packing because we are moving, or a growth spurt.  I have tried to up the amount she nurses during the day, increasing her solid food, more snuggles and baby wearing during the day...

pant suggestions? DH thinks I need to wean her at night and stop bed sharing but I refuse to CIO.

 Any suggestions or possible explanations?
